Abstract
The advancements made in the field of wireless networks have led the technology to the use of wireless ad-hoc networks in mainstream routines. The performance of these networks is heavily depends on routing protocols. Various routing protocols have been proposed. However, these protocols are prone to various type of attacks. This chapter discusses the vampire attack that is a risk to the energy resources of the wireless ad-hoc networks which drain the energy of the network by sending protocol compliant messages. In this chapter, we identify various categories of vampire attacks. This chapter discusses a secure sensor routing protocol designed to be invulnerable to various attacks but its topology discovery phase is vulnerable to the vampire attacks. This chapter also presents a modification to the protocol's topology discovery phase to detect the nodes performing vampire attacks and prevent the network from these attacks.
