Abstract

Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) having strikingly superior features also come with notable disadvantage and troubles and the most exigent amongst all being security related issues. Such an ringent network dexterously pave approach for the malicious nodes. Hence providing security is a tedious task. For such a dynamic environment, a security system which dynamically observes the attacker's plans and protect the highly sophisticated resources is in high demand. In this paper we present a method of providing security against wormhole attacks to a MANET by learning about the environment dynamically and adapting itself to avoid malicious nodes. We accomplish this with the assistance of Honeypot. Our method predicts the wormhole attack that may take place and protect the resources well-in advance. Also it cleverly deal with the attacker by using previous history and different type of messages to locate the attacker. Several experiments suggest that the system is accurate in handling wormhole attack.
