An Overview of Latest Alleviate Mechanisms to Counteract Misbehavior Attack in Ad Hoc Networks

An adhoc network is a group of mobile nodes that communicates through a wireless medium over another node. It is remained supremacy over the years since there is no demand for the establishment of infrastructure. Since it is an infrastructure-less network there exists many attacks like DoS, DDoS, sybil, man in the middle, black hole, gray hole, flooding, wormhole, jamming, security issues, threats, and vulnerabilities. To shield the network against those loopholes is a challenging task. Contribution towards these gap decreases to a certain extent, provides a way to an intelligent attacker to bypass the security and targets the system with the shrewd mind to execute the attack. Many techniques like intrusion detection system, trust models, game theory, cryptographic were proposed to identify, defend, mitigate but they were not effective still now. The attacker moves in a much smarter way and prevails the entire security system. This paper presents a review on existing mechanisms that has been adopted for misbehavior attacks as a summary.
