One of the main challenges in MANET is to design the robust security solution that can protect MANET from various routing attacks.Flooding attack launched at network layer is a serious routing attack which can consume more resources like bandwidth, battery power, etc.It is more concealed form of Denial of service attack and resource consumption attack.The route discovery scheme in reactive routing protocols like Adhoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) used in MANET makes it more easy for malicious nodes to launch connection request floods by flooding the route request packets (RREQ) on the network.A novel detection technique based on dynamic profile with traffic pattern analysis (PDS) is proposed.Its effectiveness in detecting and isolating the malicious node that floods the route request packets is evaluated using java simulator jist/swans.
