Abstract: Ad-hoc networks are established voluntarily without the use of any framework or centralized management. This type of system infers that each node, or user, in the network can act as a data endpoint or intermediate node. Routing in between these nodes is established by using routing protocols. Several protocols for secure routing in adhoc networks have been proposed in the literature. But because of their drawbacks there is a necessity to make them strong and secure and these nodes are used to transfer the data from source location to destination. Whenever the nodes transfers data then the nodes has to utilize some resources like energy, storage capacity and bandwidth. So that some nodes of the network may not send data to their neighbor nodes. In this paper we use secure based routing protocol watchdog to identify misbehaving nodes and we propose incentive based mechanism to avoid selfish nodes in order to mitigate the packet dropping attack.
