Though unwanted, the attacker is also one of the major entities that can critically affect new potentially lifesaving vehicular network. These bothersome attackers behave in very unpredictable ways and can launch various kinds of attacks. In this paper, practically all possible attacks in a vehicular network are divided into five different classes. We also discussed some possible new kinds of attacks on lifesaving networks. The main reason for assigning classes to these attacks is to enable identification and classification of the various attacks that are perpetrated in a vehicular environment for use in designing new solutions. © 2013 International Information Institute. publisher: International Information Institute Ltd. date: 2013 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Sumra, I.A. and Hasbullah, H.B. and Manan, J.-L.A. and Ahmad, I. and Alghazzawi, D.M.
