Attacks and defense in mobile wireless ad hoc networks

当前针对移动的Ad Hoc网络的威胁越来越复杂，基于单一攻击的防范方案已不再有效。事实上，目前的研究缺乏对攻击之间的协调和各种攻击者之间的协作的理解，因为这正在成为恶意节点的强大策略。 与单个和不协调的组攻击不同，协调攻击可能会对无线环境造成更大的破坏性影响，因为它们结合了多个攻击者的联合收割机攻击。在ad hoc网络中，当一个节点在路由形成中行为不当时，很难识别恶意活动。如果多个节点同时或交替地进行恶意操作，则处理它们的方案在大多数节点上将变得非常缓慢。前人的工作为本研究的提出奠定了基础。这项研究的总体目标是解决问题的特征，建模，并抵御协调/协作攻击在移动自组网。 这个研究项目预计将有助于显着的知识在ad hoc网络安全的进步，通过提供有效地分类和处理协同攻击的方法，以及一般的指导方针，以保护ad hoc网络免受任何歹徒。

Current threats against Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are becoming more and more sophisticated that prevention solutions based on single attacks are by no means effective. In fact, the current research is missing an understanding of the coordination among attacks and the collaboration among various attackers since that is emerging as the a powerful strategy for malicious nodes. Unlike single and uncoordinated group attacks, coordinated attacks may cause more devastating impacts on wireless environments as they combine efforts of more than one attackers. In ad hoc networks, the identification of malicious activities is hard when one node misbehaves in route formation. If multiple nodes act maliciously, simultaneously, or alternately, the schemes to deal with them will become very slow at most nodes. Previous works have built a foundation for this research proposal. The general objective of this research is to address issues of characterizing, modeling, and defending against coordinated/collaborative attacks in MANETs. This research project is expected to contribute significantly to the advancement of knowledge in ad hoc networks security, by providing methods for classifying and dealing effectively with collaborative attacks, as well as general guidelines to protect ad hoc networks from any miscreant.
