Nodes in a wireless sensor network (WSN) probe their surroundings and report their
findings to a base-station over multi-hop paths. Given the important role of the base-station,
an adversary who likes to disrupt the network operation would eagerly look for where the
base-station could be and target it with attacks in order to inflict maximum damage.
Unfortunately, the continuous flow of traffic towards the base-station creates a pronounced
pattern of wireless links that may expose the base-station position and thus make the …

In a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) Nodes are distributed to monitor an area of interest
such as a military battlefield, and transmit their data to in-situ Base-Station (BS) through multi-
hop paths. In addition to collecting and processing the sensor data, the BS performs network
management tasks. Due to such an important role, an adversary would try to locate the BS
and target it with Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack in order to disrupt the WSN operation.
Locating the BS can be done by intercepting transmissions and then employing traffic …
