Gajendra Singh Chandel, Rajul Chowksi . Study of Rushing Attack in MANET. International Journal of Computer Applications. 79, 10 ( October 2013), 43-45. DOI=10.5120/13781-1654
A mobile ad-hoc network or MANET incorporates mobile nodes that forward information or packets from node to node without a wired connection. This is the topology changes rapidly and unproductively, there is no central control for routing of packets. The communication is on mutual trust. There are many proposed routing protocol, on-demand routing is most preferable among all as its overhead is very low. This significantly attention has been paid on developing a secure reactive protocol against various attacks. In this paper a survey and study about rushing attack is provided. This attack results in denial-of-services and is effectively damaging as it can also be performed by weak attacker. Thus a Rushing attack prevention (RAP); generic rushing attack prevention mechanism introduced for the reactive protocols.
