1. Abstract Vehicular networks are very appealing and important concept as traffic is becoming heavy and mobility is getting increased. This heavy traffic and increased speed has raised the issues related with security threats because it can cause inconvenience in traffic and can also result into accidents. Security analysis in the past years has shown that VANETs are vulnerable of many attacks based on position information and node IDs. This work is the modelling of attackers that target sensitive safety applications in vehicular ad-hoc network. Through the introduction of integrated network and traffic simulation platform called NCTUns-5.0, this work simulates threats and severe attacks in inter-Vehicle communication. This platform provides the capabilities of roadmap simulation, communication and vehicular traffic simulation. It is very appropriate for advanced wireless vehicular ad-hoc network research where a vehicle needs to change its mobility behaviour after receiving a message from a neighbouring vehicle. The simulation work shows that the most serious threat arises from forged position information and fake node IDs. The work show that freedom, available for position forging and node ID brings two attacks in light: Sybil attack and Path Forging attack.
