Helmy). Flooding-type Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed DoS (DDoS) attacks can cause serious problems in mobile multi-hop networks due to its limited network/host resources. Attacker traceback is a promising solution to take a proper countermeasure near attack origins, for forensics and to discourage attackers from launching the attacks. However, attacker traceback in mobile multi-hop networks is a challenging problem. Existing IP traceback schemes developed for the fixed networks cannot be directly applied to mobile multi-hop networks due to the peculiar characteristics of the mobile multi-hop networks (e.g., dynamic/autonomous network topology, limited network/host resources such as memory, bandwidth and battery life). We introduce a protocol framework for attacker traceback, CATCH, geared towards mobile multi-hop networks utilizing MAC and network cross-layer approach. We also perform systematic risk analysis on mobile multi-hop networks. Based on the risk analysis, we extend CATCH for a mobile attacker traceback scheme. We show that CATCH successfully tracks down attacker under diverse mobile multi-hop network environment with low communication, computation, and memory overhead. We provide comprehensive evaluation of our proposed protocols through extensive simulations. 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

ATTENTION: ATTackEr Traceback Using MAC Layer AbNormality DetecTION

Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed DoS (DDoS) attacks can cause serious problems in wireless networks due to limited network and host resources. Attacker traceback is a promising solution to take a proper countermeasure near the attack origins, to discourage attackers from launching attacks, and for forensics. However, attacker traceback in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) is a challenging ...

A Hidden Node Aware Network Allocation Vector Management System for Multi-hop Wireless Ad hoc Networks

Many performance evaluations for IEEE 802.11distributed coordination function (DCF) have been previouslyreported in the literature. Some of them have clearly indicatedthat 802.11 MAC protocol has poor performance in multi-hopwireless ad hoc networks due to exposed and hidden nodeproblems. Although RTS/CTS transmission scheme mitigatesthese phenomena, it has not been successful in thoroughlyomit...

Intuitionistic fuzzy logic for adaptive energy efficient routing in mobile ad-hoc networks

In recent years, mobile ad-hoc networks have been used widely due to advances in wireless technology. These networks are formed in any environment that is needed without a fixed infrastructure or centralized management. Mobile ad-hoc networks have some characteristics and advantages such as wireless medium access, multi-hop routing, low cost development, dynamic topology and etc. In these netwo...

A Survey of Solutions to Protect Against All Types of Attacks in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

In recent years mobile networks have expanded dramatically, compared with other wireless networks. Routing protocols in these networks are designed with the assumption that there is no attacker node, so routing protocols are vulnerable to various attacks in these networks. In this paper, we review the network layer attacks and then we simulate the impact of black hole attack on ad hoc on demand...
