Detection and Removal of Cooperative Black/Gray Hole Attack in Mobile ADHOC Networks

Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANET) are widely used in places where there is little or no infrastructure. A number of people with mobile devices may connect together to form a large group. Later on they may split into smaller groups. This dynamically changing network topology of MANETs makes it vulnerable for a wide range of attack. This paper proposes a complete protocol for detection & removal of networking Black/Gray Holes.
