摘要：Wireless Mesh Networking is an emerging technology in order to provide a possibility to build a network that can grow in terms of coverage to offer service access (i.e. internet access) for a large number of people with different needs. Wireless mesh networks are more vulnerable to wormhole attack (one out of many kind of attacks). In a typical wormhole attack, two or more malicious nodes plan together by establishing a tunnel using an efficient communication medium. The aim of this paper is to describe a wormhole detection algorithm for wireless mesh networks which detect the wormholes by calculating neighbour list and directional neighbour list of the source node. The main goal of the algorithm is that it can provide approximate location of nodes and effect of wormhole attack on all nodes which is useful in implementing countermeasures. The performance evaluation is done by varying no. of wormholes in the network.
