Preventing Manet From Blackhole And Grayhole Attacks Using Reverse Tracing Technique
Network which is not connected by any type of cable is a wireless network. The main purpose of using wireless network is that it enables users to avoid the cost of introducing cable lines in the building or making connection between different locations. These networks are highly affected by network attack. One of these attacks are black hole attacks in which malicious node claims that it has the fresh and shortest path. As MANET doesn't have any standard infrastructure and the dynamic topology that makes these networks highly susceptible to security flaws like exploiting vulnerabilities to routing protocols and transferring harmful packets in the networks. These security issues results in adverse effect on this network. Now the task is to prevent MANET from these security threats. As this paper is based on DSR protocol hence we developed a scheme called the Cooperative Bait Detection Scheme (CBDS), which directly focus on detection and prevention of malicious nodes introducing gray hole/black hole attacks in MANETs. To implement this CBDS we use back tracing method. Hence from our proposed system we won't require any special hardware or detection node to prevent against blackhole attacks.
