For the past few years, mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) have been so common in the areas of mobile communication. Due to wide usage of MANETs over different areas, MANETs are vulnerable to many attacks. One common type of attack that is the packet dropping attack such as the black hole and gray hole attacks which can eventually led to the denial of service attacks (DoS). The reason behind the attack is that the network routing protocols are designed in a way that the protocol assumes there are no intruders or malicious nodes are present in the network. Ad hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) protocol and dynamic source routing (DSR) protocol are some of the main protocols that are currently used in MANETs. There is a great challenge in detecting these packet dropping attacks in a network. In this paper, I present a study on the packet dropping attack detection methods on the MANET routing protocols.
