Abstract

In Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANET), various types of Denial of Service Attacks (DoS) are possible because of the inherent limitations of its routing protocols. A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is a DoS attack which relies on multiple compromised hosts in the network to attack the victim. In this paper impact of Packet Dropping and Selfish Node based Passive DDoS attack is evaluated by finding the packet delivery ratio, energy consumption and collisions by varying node mobility and number of attackers. Experiments are performed by implementing both types of attacks through simulation. It is found that the selfish node attack has more impact on network performance than packet dropping attack.
