N2 - In this paper, we propose a scheme for avoiding a malicious packet dropper by using multipath routing. In ad hoc wireless networks, most of the conventional routing protocols assume nodes are trustworthy and cooperative. Therefore, ad hoc wireless networks are more vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) attacks com- pared to wired networks or infrastructure-based wireless networks. A compromised node can obstruct network communication by simply dropping packets that are supposed to be forwarded. In our approach, messages are distributed over multiple paths between source and destination using ant-based routing. In proportion to the throughput of each path, a pheromone-aided routing table is updated and, subse-quently, paths that contain malicious nodes are naturally avoided. The simulation results show that our scheme can avoid most of the paths that contain malicious nodes.
