A Wireless Sensor Network can be defined as a group
of independent nodes, communicating wirelessly over limited
frequency and bandwidth. The novelty of WSNs in comparison to
traditional sensor networks is that they depend on dense deployment
and coordination to execute their tasks successfully. Wireless sensor
network has limited resources like less storage space, low energy and
computation power. In this paper, we introduce the wormhole attack,
a severe attack in wireless sensor network that is particularly
challenging to defend against. The wormhole attack is possible even
if the attacker has not compromised any hosts and even if all
communication provides authenticity and confidentiality. In the
wormhole attack, an attacker records packets (or bits) at one
location in the network, tunnels them (possibly selectively) to another
location, and retransmits them there into the network. The wormhole
attack can form a serious threat in wireless networks, especially
against many routing protocols like AODV and DSR. In this paper
the impact of wormhole attack on these routing protocols are
analyzed with different parameter like frame tunnel, frame dropped
and intercepted.
