BLACK HOLE ATTACK MODEL AND SIMULATION FOR MOBILE AD HOC NETWORK

With the widespread applications of mobile Ad Hoc network (MANET), the network security is getting more and more attention. In order to achieve the simulation studies of black hole attacking the network, first, the black hole attack principles using protocol vulnerabilities are analyzed based on AODV protocol. Then, an attack model containing different types of black hole nodes is established based on NS2 network simulation platform. Finally, the impact of black hole attack on network performance is analyzed by simulation in different types and attack intensity. The simulation results show that the model can simulate the impact of black hole attack on network performance actually, which can provide reference and corresponding simulation environment for the research of Ad Hoc network security and tactical Internet information combat technology.
