Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is a
type of temporary wireless network, in which the nodes
are mobile and have dynamic network topology.
Communication among nodes in these networks is
accomplished via different routing protocols. But these
protocols have different security flaws and using these
flaws, an attacker can launch many attacks. Wormhole
attack is one of the serious attacks in the context of mobile
ad-hoc networks that can disrupt any routing channel
completely. In this work, an attempt has been made to
analyze and compare the performance of on-demand
reactive routing protocol: Ad hoc On Demand Distance
Vector (AODV) with two approaches: AODV without
attack and AODV under wormhole attack using two
mobility models viz. Random Way Point Model and
Reference Point Group Mobility Model. The performance
metrics evaluated for the two examined approaches are
Average Throughput, Packet Delivery Ratio, Average End
to End Delay and Jitter. Along with this, an approach has
also been used to analyze participated malicious nodes.
