Abstract:

Mobile ad hoc Network consist of mobile nodes which do require neither a base station nor any fixed infrastructure. Nodes which are far apart from each other communicate hop by hop. An efficient routing protocol is required between the nodes to communicate. MANETs are not immune to attacks. In this paper we have implemented wormhole attack which is a type of active attack which disturbs the normal functioning of network and IALERT routing protocol. We have compared two parameters that are throughput and energy consumption of both our tcl files named wormhole and isolate. In wormhole file we have applied the attack and in the isolate file we have countered that attack. Results and simulations show that the throughput of isolate file is better than wormhole file and energy consumption of isolate file is less than wormhole file.
