A Solution for Detecting Black Hole Attack Using Improved DRI in MANET

Ad hoc Network is a self organized autonomous network that consists of mobile nodes which communicate with each other over wireless links. One of the common attacks in MANETs is the Black hole Attack, in which malicious node falsely claiming it to have the fresh and shortest path to the destination and then drops all the receiving packets. The black hole attack is one of the well-known security threats in wireless mobile adhoc networks. We proposed a mechanism to mitigate single black hole attack to discover a safe route to the destination by avoiding attacks. In this paper we proposed an approach for better analysis and improve security of AODV, which is one of the popular routing protocols for MANET. Our scheme is based on AODV protocol which is improved by deploying improved DRI table with additional check bit. The Simulation on NS2 is carried out and the proposed scheme has produced results that demonstrate the effectiveness of the mechanism in detection and elimination of the attack and improve network performance by reducing the packet dropping ratio in network. In this paper, We not only classify these proposals into single black hole attack but also analyze the categories of these solutions.
