On intrusion detection and response for mobile ad hoc networks
April 15, 2004
We present network intrusion detection (ID) mechanisms that rely upon packet snooping to detect aberrant behavior in mobile ad hoc networks. Our extensions, which are applicable to several mobile, ad hoc routing protocols, offer two response mechanisms, passive - to singularly determine if a node is intrusive and act to protect itself from attacks, or active - to collaboratively determine if a node, is intrusive and act to protect all of the nodes of an ad hoc cluster. We have implemented our extensions using the GloMoSim simulator and detail their efficacy under a variety of operational conditions.
