Abstract
MANET becomes an important field now a days due to its applicability and adaptability in various applications. With time, as the trend of using portable as well as mobile devices has increased, so there is increase in requirements of this type of networks that allow users to easily establish communication. Actually users, now a days, do not want to be always attached with any fixed i.e. wired network. This all lead to development of mobile devices and their network types. Large number of users came into existence with these requirements. MANET was considered as best option to resolve such requirement of user. As this count increased in network with participation of mobile nodes, the probability of having existence of fake or malicious nodes in this network will also increase. This malicious node, once becoming part of network, starts disturbing the whole communication system of adhoc network. Basically, this communication network was called as Adhoc network because it may be generated at moment when actually it is required by nodes, especially those need to have communication among each other. Due to ease of establishing network, nodes can easily become part of such network but sometimes malicious nodes take advantage of this facility and starts controlling nodes available in that network or starts receiving information packets after pretending themselves as authenticated node. By doing so, any type of attack can be applied in network. The way of attack is implemented by attacker defines the nature and attack type.
