Abstract

This paper presents an implementation of an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) aiming to secure the AODV protocol designed for MANET. The IDS is designed as multiple static agents that run on a subset of the nodes in the network and executes a monitoring protocol that observes the process of route establishment. The monitoring protocol uses specification based intrusion detection to identify misuses to the routing messages. The IDS design is a correlation of previous work done in the field of MANET security. The IDS is implemented using ns-2 simulator and its ability to detect attacks was tested using previously devised attack scripts. Detailed specification for the runtime behavior of the AODV protocol was derived in the process of implementation
