Abstract
Wireless ad hoc networks have gained lots of attention due to their ease and low cost of deployment. This
has made ad hoc networks of great importance in numerous military and civilian applications. But, the lack
of centralized management of these networks makes them vulnerable to a number of security attacks. One
of the attacks is packet drop attack, where a compromised node drops packets maliciously. Several
techniques have been proposed to detect the packet drop attack in wireless ad hoc networks. Therefore, in
this paper we review some of the packet drop attack detection techniques and comparatively analyze them
basing on; their ability to detect the attack under different attack strategies (partial and or cooperate
attacks), environments and the computational and communication overheads caused in the process of
detection.
