In AODV protocol Black hole attack is classified into two categories: Black hole attack caused by RREP and black hole attack caused by RREQ. A. Black hole attack caused by RREQ Following things happen when black hole attack form by malicious nodes or attacker while sending fake RREQ messages: • Attacker change the originator IP address in RREQ to the originating node’s IP address. • Attacker change the destination IP address in RREQ to the destination node’s IP address. • Attacker change the source IP address of IP header to its own IP address. • Attacker change the destination IP address of IP header to broadcast address. • Choose high sequence number and low hop count and put them in related fields in RREQ. So, attacker insert the wrong information about source node in the routing table of nodes that get fake RREQ message. Hence, if these nodes send data to the source, at first step they send it to the...
