• This paper explores the effectiveness of CORE-COllaborative REputation Mechanism to combat the node selfishness problem in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) in the situation when the selfish node is aware of CORE as the detection mechanism employed. We first give details of the working of different components of CORE and then analyse the effectiveness of the component called Watchdog (WD) mechanism for two functions namely the DSR Route Discovery and Packet Forwarding in the situation when a node is aware of the mechanism and is trying to undermine the WD on purpose. We enlist certain scenarios that a selfish node could possibly exploit to escape WD detection and be successful at protecting its ability to be selfish in the ad hoc network.
