RPL-Rank-Attacks

In this repository, we have used the Cooja simulator which is part of the Contiki OS to implement a number of rank attacks on RPL. RPL is the major protocol which is being used in IoT devices.

What to change

In order to implement the attacks in Cooja, some changes should be applied to the source codes. These changes are stated below for each attack:

• Decreased Rank Attack:
  • RPL_CONF_MIN_HOPRANKINC is set to 0 in udp_sender.c of attacker node
  • RPL_MAX_RANKINC is set to 0 in rpl-private.h
  • rpl_recalculate_ranks() is removed from rpl-timers.c
• Increased Rank Attack:
  • calculate_rank() return statement is set to INFINITE_RANK in rpl-mrhof.c
  • rpl_recalculate_ranks() is removed from rpl-timers.c
• Worst Parent Selection Attack:
  • best_parent() return statement is changed to 'return p1_metric > p2_metric ? p1 : p2' in rpl-mrhof.c
  • rpl_recalculate_ranks() is removed from rpl-timers.c
