Abstract
Wireless sensor networks are created by nodes which are deployed for specific kind of application. These nodes are tiny sensors and are powered by cells or limited batteries. Since the time these networks came into existence, conserving their energies has remained one of the prime goals of the researchers. Security on the other hand is another issue faced by such networks as these networks are left unattended after being deployed. However, some of the attacks are related to consuming up the energy of the nodes. For example, flooding attacks, vampire attacks etcetera are suck kinds of energy draining attacks. Detection and prevention of such kinds of attacks become extremely important. This paper presents the defense mechanism against one of the energy consuming malicious node which would flood more packets during the time of data communication. The performance of the scheme has been analyzed in terms of throughput, number of packets forwarded and remaining energy in the network. These parameters have shown an improvement.
