Abstract: Securing crucial information is always considered as one of the complex, critical, and a time-consuming task. This research investigates a significant threat to the security of a network, i.e., selective forwarding attack. Protection of information is considered as the main stimulating task in the design of an information system for an organization. The research work proposes a framework that detects the selective forwarding attacks and computes the harmful hosts residing an ad-hoc structure. Our solution is further split into two phases: initial phase is the detection of selective forwarding attacks and the second phase performs the identification of malicious nodes. Performance of the proposed model is evaluated based on the network throughput, which is for the enhancement of security. Simulation of the proposed model is performed using NetLogo and the results show an improvement of 20% in throughput of the network.
