Mobile Ad Hoc network is a self-composing network with a highly dynamic network topology. Although it has many advantages, there are still some safety problems in it. One of these problems is the black hole attack. The black hole attack is a typical attack to the Ad Hoc network and is also the main threat facing it. In this paper, the safety problems exist in the AODV protocol, which is a kind of routing protocol in the Ad Hoc, has been analyzed in detail. In the meanwhile, an improved Secure Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing called OSAODV has been proposed and realized based on the NS2. Finally, three set of experiments have been made, the results have shown that the OSADOV can avoid the black hole attack very well.


Mobile Ad hoc network is a temporary network. It helps to communicate two or more devices for short range. Routing Protocols are use to establish a communication in MANET. As it is a open network , it has many vulnerabilities from security point. Black hole Attack is one of the major concern in MANET. In this paper, we have implemented Black hole Attack in random mobility environment and analyse its impact on MANET using various parameters for single and multiple connection in MANET. Black hole attack disturbs one of the connection in the network while remaining connection are unaffected. During our analysis, we found that performance result of black hole attack in multiple connection network give a similar kind of output mentioned in various research paper related to gray hole attack, which will make difficult to analysis the type of attack in the network.
