Mobile ad hoc Network (MANET) is an infrastructure-less multi-hop wireless network. A node communicates directly with other mobile nodes without any established architecture. To maintain the availability of ad-hoc network, previous works present good routing protocol such as ad hoc on Demand Distance Vector (AODV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV), Reverse ad hoc on Demand Distance Vector (RAODV), ad hoc on demand Multipath Distance Vector (AOMDV), and Temporarily Ordered Routing Algorithm (TORA). However, there are issues and disadvantages of MANET which is the main focus in the existing studies including energy conservation and security threats such as the Denial of Service (DoS) attack. This study was conducted to analyse the energy utilization of reactive protocol, DSR and proactive protocol, DSDV in the situation of a DoS attack. Comparisons are made between the density of malicious nodes ranging from one and three nodes. The purpose of this comparison is to identify the number of malicious nodes that create the worst impact on energy consumption in case of a DoS attack. Network Simulator (NS) version 2.35 is used with the Black Hole code, which is the type of DoS threat that has been selected for the purpose of studying the relative energy consumption and performance varying the routing protocols. Performance of energy and routing protocols was examined based on the energy consumption and network lifetime expectancy metrics. The results of the study showed that DSDV protocol had a greater impact than DSR for single Black Hole attack on the energy consumption and network life. Whereas with the cooperative attack of three malicious nodes, the energy consumption of DSDV protocols was seen to be low due to the shorter life of node in the network as compared to DSR. The results of this study may help in evaluating the impact of Black Hole attack on energy consumption behaviors in the network such as Black Hole attack detection, security protocol improvement and others.
