Performance Analysis of MANET Under Black Hole Attack Using AODV, OLSR and TORA

Black Hole attack is one of the many attacks that can occur on a MANET. It works on the network layer by dropping all incoming packets instead of forwarding them to the destinations. MANET conveys communication in a multi-hop manner from the source node to the destination. But without any security means, the effects of such attack on MANET can disrupt the performance and operations of the network. This paper describes the effect of the attack on MANET that is using AODV, OLSR and TORA routing protocols with the introduction of IPSec protocol under the influence of Black Hole attack. The simulation of the attack is achieved using Riverbed Modeler Academic Edition. Based on the Black Hole attack simulations, MANET suffered the lowest throughput when it is using TORA and the highest using OLSR routing protocol.
