A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is an autonomous network that consists of mobile nodes that communicate with each other over wireless links. In the absence of a fixed infrastructure, nodes have to cooperate in order to provide the necessary network functionality. One of the principal routing protocols used in Ad hoc networks is AODV protocol. The security of the AODV protocol is threaded by a particular type of attack called ‘Black Hole’ attack. In this attack a malicious node advertises itself as having the shortest path to the destination node. If there is more than one black hole present in AODV network than problem becomes serious. In this paper we simulated MANET with or without Black hole to study the effects of black hole attacks on network performance. All the proposed work performed on NS-2.
