Abstract The basic characteristic of a wireless sensor network is to sense the environment and to gather different types of data. It is used in various vital sectors, such as military, healthcare, traffic monitoring, and so on. This provides many helpful data about these fields, which is used in implementing new technologies for them. However, there are numerous challenges and risks, regarding the security vulnerability of a wireless sensor network. This is because the resources of a wireless sensor network are very low (for example, low power, low computational resources, low storage, etc.). These constraints make them susceptible to different kinds of security attacks, especially the denial of service attacks. In this survey, we have outlined different kinds of DoS attacks in different layers of the hybrid layering model. We have also presented different defense mechanisms to protect/mitigate these attacks at different layers. Layer by layer analysis makes it easy to distinguish among different types of attacks and their defense techniques, along with the characteristics of the layers. Analysis of the critical issues of these attacks and defenses are finally presented with possible measures. This survey work can be very beneficial for the researchers and engineers in designing WSN topology with ensured security.

1 Introduction Wireless sensor network (WSN) is a collection of sensory devices, spread in large quantity over an area of interest, to cooperatively monitor the environment of it; including various physical properties of the surroundings of that area [1–6]. They are relatively very low-cost devices compared to other sensory equipment, because of being really limited in terms of computing resources [7, 8]. These characteristics make wireless sensor networks simple, effective and easy to implement, specially in fields like: health, military, traffic etc. They are used as inexpensive solutions for various real life scenarios like: surveillance and tracking in military and defense related services, regulation of traffic, environmental monitoring for storm, bushfire detection, health is
