Abstract: Power depletion attacks in internet are mainly affecting the Wireless LANs, since they are working on battery power which is the main resource of interest. The attack is performed by generating and routing unnecessarily packets in the network there by consuming the nodes battery power. The vulnerable packet movement in the network is identified using entropy estimation model which is different from the packet marking scheme. The vulnerable nodes in the network are identified by a packet routing scheme, which improves efficiency while using the entropy estimation model. The system is scanned for possible attack virus presence in the host node, which in turn spread the virus to the vulnerable nodes in the network. A novel hybrid method is proposed by combining three existing method which is used to protect the WLANs from power depletion attacks.
