In Managed Ad-hoc Network (MANET), under which attack, malicious node injects fault routing information to the network, in order to locate packets into a loop?
DSSSB TGT - 2023,
Answer: A
This is the Byzantine attack. In it a compromised node, or a group of them, works against the network by injecting faulty routing information, which can create routing loops and send packets along non-optimal paths. A wormhole attack tunnels packets between two colluding nodes, snooping is eavesdropping on traffic, and a DNS attack goes after name resolution, so they do not describe the injection of false routing information to form a loop.
