Abstract: Wireless Mesh networks (WMN’s) are prone to a number of attacks & these attacks compromise the security of these networks. Attaining security in these networks is a challenging task. It is logical to consider that there are many types of scripts in the internet. The virus can either be a key logger or somebody else’s mischief. With this script we can steal any information. Since the existence of virus cannot be ignored, therefore the authors have tried to present their work on first detecting it and later on fixing it. With the help of different protocols present in the Application Layer, a hacker takes information out of the script. The authors have used Covert Channel, which has been mentioned in many essays. Now with the help of this channel, the information will go to all and it will not go to any of the informatics. This research proposal envisions a methodology to first detect the selfish node in the network & later on provides a technique for mitigation of the same.NS2 simulator has been used to simulate & analyze the performance of our proposed methodology for Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol in WMN’s.
