Abstract

We focus on automated adversarial testing of real-world implementations of wireless routing protocols. We extend an existing platform, Turret, designed for general distributed systems, to address the specifics of wireless routing protocols. Specifically, we add functionality to differentiate routing messages from data messages and support wireless specific attacks such as blackhole and wormhole, or routing attacks such as replay attacks. The extended platform, Turret-W, uses a network emulator to create reproducible network conditions and virtualization to run unmodified binaries of wireless protocol implementations. Using the platform on publicly available implementations of two representative routing protocols we (re-)discovered 14 attacks and 3 bugs.
