Wireless networks plays a vital role in education, entertainment, hospitals and IT parks. People have migrated from wired networks to wireless networks because of the less complexity, easy of deployment and easy to access. At the same time, wireless networks are in secured against variety of attacks such as spoofing attacks, routing attacks, cloning attacks and so on. Routing attacks are more powerful attacks other than any other attacks. Because routing attacks will alter the path of the network packets and can redirect the packets to attacker which can lead to disclose of confidential information that are exchanged between the client and server. In this paper, I have given the complete survey of various routing attacks and countermeasures in wireless networks. © 2016, International Journal of Pharmacy and Technology. All rights reserved.
