Abstract: Measuring and monitoring the surrounded environment are the main tasks of the most battery-based Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The main energy consumption in the WSN is the communication and transferring data between these nodes. There are many researches works on how to preserve the energy consumption of the nodes inside this network. Most of these methods could save the energy and made the WSN lives for longer. However, there might be another reason of consuming energy and loosing these nodes from the network by the threats that targeting this kind of Networks such as the vampire attack that load the WSN with fake traffic. In this paper, a proposed method is presented of preventing the vampire attack from wasting the energy of the sensor nodes based on the energy level of the intermediate nodes in the way to the destination.
