Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have great benefits of reduced costs, lesser scalability factor, and can be employed upon complex and dangerous locations for the purpose of control/automation of tasks and for sensing, processing, sharing/forwarding data. Denials of service (DoS) attacks hinder the regular functioning of such networks leading to compromise of the objectives of them. In this paper a hierarchical clustering approach is proposed to detect the compromise of nodes in WSN due to DoS attacks. This approach outweighs other approaches in the aspect of elimination of outliers and faster response time in detecting the attacks.
