Abstract

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of mobile devices that communicate with each other without any fixed infrastructure or centralized administration. The characteristics specific to MANET (1) dynamic network topology, (2) limited bandwidth, (3) limited computational resources, and (4) limited battery power pose challenges in achieving goals of security and availability. MANETs are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) attacks that can adversely affect performance of MANET. In this chapter the authors present a survey of DoS attacks at various layers, their detection and respective countermeasure.
