Nodes in a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) exchange data with one another using radio waves. Nodes in a WSN are usually represented as static components. Its use has been widespread for quite some time. Researchers have paid much attention to how much power sensor nodes in WSNs use. In WSN Due to computational and power constraints, wireless sensor network (WSN) security is paramount. One type of attack that threatens the safety of WSNs is called a black hole attack. When an adversary takes control of a subset of a network's nodes and modifies their code to prevent them from sending packets they receive or originate to the base station, this is known as a black hole attack. Therefore, everything that comes close to a black hole gets drawn in. Since the network is divided during a black hole attack, crucial occurrence data does not spread the base stations, reducing efficiency. In order to prevent black hole attacks, a number of methods created on secret allocation and multipath routing have been developed in the works. However, we show that these methods are ineffective and could render black hole attacks more effective. Use a Java simulator to assess the network's performance with and without a strategy that relies on many base stations to thwart black hole attacks, and then propose a method for doing so. The Java network simulator Net bean IDE was used for its implementation.
