This document analyzes the performance of the AODV routing protocol under wormhole attacks in a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) simulation using NS2. It first provides background on MANETs, AODV, and wormhole attacks. It then describes the NS2 simulation setup of 16 nodes using the AODV protocol with and without two malicious nodes creating a wormhole. The results show that without a wormhole, packets are successfully delivered to the destination, but with the wormhole, zero throughput is achieved as the malicious nodes drop all packets, preventing delivery to the destination. Therefore, wormhole attacks significantly disrupt routing in AODV-based MANETs.
