Abstract
Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) is a self-configurable network, such that nodes connect and disconnect from the other nodes in the network automatically at any point in time. MANETs are vulnerable to various security attacks due to its characteristics of flexibility, distributed operation, node to node connectivity and so on. The focus of this work is on determining the effect of Black hole attack on MANET using Reactive routing Protocols - Ad-hoc On-Demand Routing protocol (AODV), and Temporally Ordered Routing (TORA); and Proactive routing Protocol - Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) and Destination-Sequenced Distance- Vector (DSDV). Two network scenarios were simulated (with Black hole and without Black hole) using Network Simulator (NS-2.35) and the performance metrics considered are throughput, Packet Delivery Rate (PDR), and End to End Delay. The result showed that there were decrease in the throughput, Packet Delivery Rate and End- to-End Delay, when the network is under blackhole attack; this is more evident in AODV as compared to other routing protocols.
