Abstract

In Ad hoc On Demand Vector (AODV) routing protocol for Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET), malicious nodes can easily disrupt the communication. A malicious node that is not part of any route may launch Denial of Service (DoS) Attack. Also once a route is formed, any node in the route may turn malicious and may refrain from forwarding packets, modify them before forwarding or may even forward to an incorrect intermediate node. Such malicious activities by a misbehaving node cannot be checked for in pure AODV protocol. In this paper, a proactive scheme is proposed to detect the above-mentioned malicious activities.
