Chapter 4 - Investigation and Selection Procedure

Abstract

This chapter discusses the effects of mobile ad hoc black hole attacks in the networks. To achieve this, it simulated the mobile ad hoc network scenarios which include black hole node using NS Network Simulator program. To simulate the black hole node in a mobile ad-hoc network, this project implemented a new protocol that drops data packets after receiving them. In this section, having shown how it has tested the black hole implementation, it will present the simulations of black hole attack to demonstrate its effects. Then, it will evaluate the effects of black hole attacks on a mobile ad hoc network.
