Exciting applications for future technology that may operate safely in wireless ad
hoc networks include ubiquitous on-demand processing capacity, continuous connection, and
instantaneously deployable communication for the military and first responders. These are just
some of the applications that are on the horizon. The operation of wireless networks is based
on a fundamental mechanism that involves direction in sensing and ubiquitous computing.
Wireless ad hoc networks are especially susceptible to denial of service (DoS) attacks; thus, a
significant amount of research has been conducted to improve their capacity to survive such
assaults. Prior security work in this area has generally concentrated on denying communication
at the routing or medium access control levels as the primary target for protection. We look at
how routing protocols, even ones that are meant to be safe, do not provide any protection
against these assaults, which we name "Vampire attacks" since they siphon power from the
nodes that make up a network. These so-called "Vampire" attacks are not limited to a single
protocol, but rather depend on the characteristics that are shared by a variety of widely used
categories of routing protocols. We have come to the conclusion that every single one of the
protocols that were investigated is vulnerable to Vampire assaults. These attacks are
destructive, difficult to detect, and simple to execute with as little as a single hostile insider
sending only protocol-compliant communications. This study introduces a novel proof-of
concept protocol that provably confines the harm produced by Vampires during the packet
forwarding phase. The introduction of this protocol is part of the mitigation of these sorts of
attacks.
