Abstract
In the next generation of wireless communication systems, there will be a need for the rapid deployment of independent mobile users. Such network scenarios cannot rely on centralized and organized connectivity, and can be conceived as applications of Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks. A MANET is an autonomous collection of mobile users, which is an infrastructure less, self configuring network of mobile devices connected by wireless links. Lack of fixed infrastructure, wireless medium, dynamic topology, rapid deployment practices, and the hostile environments in which they may be deployed, make MANET vulnerable to a wide range of security attacks. The Blackhole and its variant Co-operative Blackhole are some of the deadliest security threats in wireless mobile ad hoc networks as they are very difficult to handle due to the ineffectiveness of the traditional security mechanisms in case of MANET. In this paper, we have reviewed Blackhole and Co-operative Blackhole attacks in Mobile Ad-Hoc networks. An attempt has also been made to thoroughly analyze the various existing schemes against the Blackhole attacks and to find out their advantages and disadvantages.
