The attack can be classified into
2 types
1. Passive 2. Active
In passive
attack, the
normal operation of routing protocol is not interrupted. The attacker just
tries to gather the information
In active
attack, the
attacker can insert some arbitrary packets and therefore might affect the normal
operation of network
Attack can also be one of the
following types
1. Pin attack : with the
pin attack, an unauthorized node pretends to have shortest path to the
destination
The attacker can listen to path
setup phase and become the part of network.
2. Location disclosure attack
: by knowing the locations of intermediate nodes, the attacker can find out
the location of target node
3. Routing table overflow : the
attacker can create some routes whose destination do not exist. It will have
major impact on proactive based routing
4. Energy exhaustion attack :
the attacker tries to forward unwanted packets or send unwanted requests which
can conserve the battery of the nodes
