Abstract

Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack is such kind of attack which aims to disrupt the network by draining resource capability. Here, Attacker communicates worthless messages formally known as false packet to increase network traffic and make target node busy in useless activity. The complete work observes that, DDOS attack does not require any study about network vulnerability. The major challenge with mobile network is energy issue. Its life is directly proportional with battery capacity. Thus draining in battery energy directly degrades the life of node. This project observed it as severe problem and proposed a solution to overcome the problem of power draining due to DDOS attack. Subsequently, Power draining is the major thread; where attacker not only exhausts the network traffic but also degrades the life of node as well network. This paper aims to make survey to explore solution to overcome flooding attack in WSN.

Introduction

A Wireless Sensor Network is usually composed of hundreds or thousands of sensor nodes. These sensor nodes are often densely deployed in a sensor field and have the capability to collect data and route data back to a base station (BS). A sensor consists of four basic parts: a sensing unit, a processing unit, a transceiver unit, and a power unit. It may also have additional application-dependent components such as a location finding system, power generator,

Conclusion

The complete work concludes that there is need to develop a security scheme to detect and prevent sensor network from useless conjunction and service utilization to avoid power drain. The proposed solution will help to sustain node life as they deserve.
