Abstract: Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is susceptible to different type of attacks due to its mobility and other limitation. Black hole attacks are one type of severe active type of attack which occurs in network layer and directly affect the network parameter. This paper analyzes the severity of this attack by implementing the attack using NS2 simulator. Also the available prevention mechanisms and their effectiveness are discussed. This paper also suggests a new approach for detection and prevention of MANET against black hole attack.
Keywords: MANET, AODV Routing Protocol, Ad hoc Network, Black Hole.
