Simulation-based comparative analysis on the effect of Black-hole attack and Rushing attack on the mobile ad-hoc network

Ad-hoc network is an infrastructure less network. It makes network structure dynamically on demand and creates a major security problem of data transferring between the sender and the receiver over the network. This security issue can be analyzed using the different type of attacks on MANET. In this paper, we shown a simulation-based study on the impacts of different kinds of attacks of mobile ad hoc network. Here we consider rushing attack and black hole attack to analyze its performance over the various network scenario; especially, consider performance parameter such as packet delivery ratio, throughput, end-to-end delay, etc. We investigated the impact of these three important parameters under three states of network such as normal state, black-hole attack state and rushing attacked state. This analysis clearly showed which attacking state affected which parameter of network most.
