Detecting Packet Mishandling in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks
Overview Mobile Ad-hoc networks are inherently prone to security attacks, with node mobility being the primary cause in allowing security breaches. This makes the network susceptible to Byzantyne faults with packets getting misrouted or dropped. This paper proposes solutions using an unobtrusive monitoring technique to locate malicious packet dropping. This technique uses information from different network layers to detect malicious activity. Any single node can use unobtrusive monitoring without relying on cooperation from other nodes, making this technique easy to implement and deploy. This paper implements the technique using ns-2 simulator and conducted extensive experiments using several mobility models.
