<p>A self-configured network forming an arbitrary topology of mobile routers through wireless connection is commonly referred as MANET (mobile ad-hoc network).  Random movement of routers allows the network to organize arbitrarily hence rapid unpredictable changes may occur in the topology of the wireless network. When there is no possibility of setting up permanent networks, MANETs are set up for carrying out the operations temporarily. As there is no fixed frame for this system, usage of available resources for reliable communication is a great challenge for MANETs. The nodes participating in packet routing in ad-hoc networks faces security issues such as maintaining the confidentiality of the packets, integration, availability of the network to meet the traffic, requirement of authentication for reliable data communication etc. Dropping of packets maliciously in an attack is known as black hole attack.An attempt is made in this paper to detect dynamically using the security of cross layer called as honeypot and classify the mechanisms to understand the strengths &amp; threats of the protocols used for routing to suggest a concrete solution for the problems related to the mobile ad-hoc networks. The methodology of honeypot detects and isolates the attacks of the black hole. The results prove better delivery of packets with decreased load of the network.</p>

A Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) is a self-organizing, infrastructure-less network of mobile nodes connecting by wireless links. In operation, the nodes of MANETs do not have a central control mechanism. It is known for its properties of routable network, where each node acts as a router to forward packets to other specific nodes in the network. The unique properties of MANET have made it useful for large number of applications and led to a number of security challenges. Security in the mobile ad hoc network is a very critical job and requires the consideration of different security issues on all the layers of communication. The countermeasures are the functions that reduce or eliminate security vulnerabilities and attacks. This chapter provides a comprehensive study of all prominent attacks in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks described in the literature. It also provides various proactive and reactive approaches proposed to secure the MANETs. Moreover, it also points to areas of research that need to be investigated in the future.

Now a day, security in Mobile Ad hoc Network is very important issue. Due to dynamic topology and mobility of nodes, Mobile Ad hoc Networks are more vulnerable to security attacks than conventional wired and wireless network. Nodes of Mobile Ad hoc Network communicate directly without any central base station. That means in ad hoc network, infrastructure is not required for establishing communication. Therefore attacks in this are very frequent than other networks. In this research paper we are describing black hole attacks which are easy to launch in wireless ad hoc network. Black hole attack is referred to as a node dropping all packets and sending forged routing packets to route packets over itself. Ad hoc networks are vulnerable to different kinds of attacks such as: denial of services, impersonation, and eavesdropping.This paper discusses one of the security problems in ad hoc networks called the black hole problem. It occurs when a malicious node referred as black hole joins the network. The black hole conducts its malicious behaviour during the process of route discovery. For any received REQ, the black hole claims having a route and propagates a faked REP. The source node responds to these faked REPs and sends its data through the received routes. Once the data is received by the black hole, it is dropped instead of being sent to the desired destination.The proposed protocol is built on top of the original AODV. It extends the AODV to include the following functionalities: source node waits for a reliable route; each node has a table in which it adds the addresses of the reliable nodes; REP is overloaded with an extra field to indicate the reliability of the replying node.

This chapter covers issues related to security in mobile ad hoc networks. It acts as a comprehensive survey material covering the cryptographic schemes and trust modeling techniques traditionally found in mobile ad hoc network (MANET) survey articles. The need for hybrid security techniques, involving both cryptographic approach and trust based model, in a resource constrained ad hoc network, is also emphasized in this work. Additionally, the lack of realism in the research works related to ad hoc network security is also pointed out. The state of the art in ad hoc security should employ hybrid techniques that can be easily implemented in an ad hoc network. This will lead to the large scale deployment of mobile ad hoc networks in various context-aware applications.

Security is a vital requirement in mobile ad hoc networks to provide secured communication among mobile nodes. Due to different characteristics of MANETS, it creates a number of consequential challenges to its security design. To overcome the challenges, there is a need to build a powerful security solution that achieves both broad protection and desirable network performance. Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) has emerged as a new leading edge of technology to provide communication wherever and whenever required. As the wired network needs established infrastructure for communication but the mobile ad hoc network does not need any infrastructure, centralized management and control. Due to movable nature of nodes in Mobilead hoc network difficult routing between nodes are not very easy task. For this purpose many reactive routing protocols have been implemented like AODV, DSR, and DSDV. In the first part of this work, we propose a new algorithm AODV-BTR to improve existing on demand routing protocol and an attempt has been made to compare the performance of proposed algorithm (AODV-BTR) with existing algorithm AODV. Ad hoc networks are susceptible to many types of attacks; due tomovable nature of nodes it is very difficult to provide security at each node. This paper introduces the black hole attack; in this type of attack mischievous node announce that he is having the shortest path to all nodes in the environment by sending fake route reply message. This paper proposes an easiest way to detect Black hole attacks using DLM technique. DML method presents the solution to detect & remove blackhole attack in reactive protocol called AODV-BTR.

Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a self-configuring network that is formed via wireless links by a collection of mobile nodes without the help of a fixed infrastructure or centralized management. Each mobile node can move freely in any direction, and changes their links to other devices frequently. Security is an essential part of ad hoc networks. Due to its dynamic topology, resource constraints, no centralized infrastructure and limited security, it is vulnerable to various attacks and black hole attack is one of them. In a black hole attack, a malicious node impersonates a destination node by sending a spoofed route reply packet to a source node that initiates a route discovery. By doing this, the malicious node can deprive the traffic from the source node. In order to prevent this kind of attack, it is crucial to detect the abnormality occurs during the attack. In conventional schemes, anomaly detection is achieved by defining the normal state from static training data. However, in mobile ad hoc networks where the network topology dynamically changes, such static training method could not be used efficiently.

A mobile ad-hoc network is a method of communication between different nodes (mobile devices) without the use of base stations, which are used in wired networks. In a Mobile ad-hoc network, nodes can play the role of a receiver, sender, or a relay. As movement is flexible in Mobile ad-hoc networks and nodes have limited resources, nodes may join the communication or exit it at any time. Therefore, for Mobile ad-hoc networks, routing techniques - selecting communication routes and maintaining them – is considered important in an environment of constantly changing network topology. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes a reliable routing protocol based on MP-AOMDV, which monitors changes in signal strength not only for GPS signals but reception signals as well. Although MP-AOMDV was researched under the assumption of fixed movement direction and speed, this paper proposes a routing technique that works with changing movement direction or speed of nodes.

Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is the one of the type of ad hoc network, the MANET is a collection of two or more devices or nodes or terminals with wireless communications and networking capability that communicate with each other without the aid of any centralized  administrator also the wireless nodes that can dynamically form a network to exchange information without using any existing fixed network infrastructure. And it's an autonomous system in which mobile hosts connected by wireless links are free to be dynamically and sometime act as routers at the same time, In MANET, the mobile nodes require to forward packets for each other to enable communication among nodes outside of transmission  range. The nodes in the network are free to move independently in any direction, leave and join the network arbitrarily. Thus a node experiences changes in its link states regularly with other devices. Eventually, the mobility in the ad hoc network, change of link states and other properties of  wireless transmission such as attenuation, multipath propagation, interference etc. This paper discuses   study of Mobile ad-hoc Networks (MANET): classification, characteristics, structure of  MANET  and challenges that are imposed by Mobile ad-hoc Networks.

Disasters could cause communication systems partially or completely down. In such a case, relief operations need a rapidly deployed communication system to save lives. Exchanging information among the rescue team is a vital factor to make important decisions. Communication system required to be robust to failures, rapidly deployable, easily maintainable to provide better services. Wireless ad-hoc networks could be the choice of establishing communication with the aid of existing infrastructure in a post-disaster case. In order to optimize mobile ad-hoc network performance, address the challenges that could lead to unreliable performance is required. One and most crucial key challenge is routing information from a sender to receiver. Due to the characteristics of a disaster environment such as signal attenuation, communication links exist between rescue crew is short-lived, suffer from frequent route breakage, and may result in unreliable end-to-end services. Many routing protocols have been proposed and evaluated in different network environments. This paper presents the basic taxonomy of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks and the state of the art in routing categorizes (Proactive, Reactive, Geographic-aware and Delay tolerant Networks (DTN)). The comparison of existing routing protocols in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks indicates that overhead in Proactive and Geographic is competitive with delay in Reactive and DTN routing.
