Several misbehavior detection and reputation
systems have been proposed for mobile ad-hoc networks,
relying on direct network observation mechanisms,
so-called watchdogs. While these approaches have so far
only been evaluated in simulations and restricted to selfish
packet dropping, we are interested in the capabilities of
a watchdog detection component in a real network. In this
paper we present our test-bed implementation of misbehavior
detection. Following an evaluation of both the feasibility
and detectability of attacks on routing and forwarding
in the Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol, we present
the design of our test-bed. In order to add detection capabilities,
we extend the concept of passive acknowledgment by
mechanisms for partial dropping, packet modification, and
fabrication detection. We combine DSR with Netfilter and
APE to enable detection. We implement both attackers and
detection and show their feasibility and limitations.
