2. Active Attack: Active attacks are those attacks where the attacker takes malicious action in addition to passively listening to ongoing traffic e.g. attacker might choose to modify packets, inject packets or even disrupt network service. The misbehaving node has to bear some energy costs in order to perform some harmful operation like changing the data. Active attacks cause damage and are malicious which often threaten integrity, availability of the network.
These type of attacks can be internal or external [7].
Generic Attacks against Routing: Routing is very important function in MANETs. It can also be easily misused, leading to several types of attack. Routing protocols in general are prone to attacks from malicious nodes. These protocols

Location disclosure Attack: This type of attack is a part of the information disclosure attack. The malicious node(s) leaks information regarding the location or the structure of the network. It itself may also use the location information for further attack. It gathers the node location information such as a route map and knows nodes situated on the target route. Figure 1.3 show Location disclosure
Attack.
Figure 1.3: Location disclosure Attack
As shown in figure 1.3 node M1 collect all topology information & either discloses it to other malicious node M2 or itself uses for attack on any other node for example M1 would send fake Message to S.

Flooding: In this type of attack, attacker (malicious) node(s) broadcast false packets or ghost packets which have wrong routing information & drain valuable resources like battery, processing power, and bandwidth. It leads to increased traffic in network, keeping nodes busy and reduced network performance.
Denial of Service (DoS) attack: This type of attack has similarity with Flooding type of attacks. This type of attack is any event that diminishes or eliminates a network’s capacity to perform its expected function. These attacks are launched against server resources
LAND DOS attacks: Local Area Network Denial attack is a DoS attack in which a special poison spoofed packet in send to a computer, causing it to lock up itself in a loop.
These neighborsmay themselves be exhausted prematurely, causing a hole or partition in the network. 3.3. Hello Flood Attack. Many routing protocols use “Hello” broadcastmessages to announce themselves to their neighbor nodes. The nodes that receive this message assume that source nodes are within range and add source nodes to their
The attacker counts the number of packet transmissions executed by each node in a region for a period of time. If the nodes are sending to a common destination node e.g., the sink node, then the latter should be located in a region of higher packet transmissions or
Abstract—Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a kind of wireless network. A Wireless ad-hoc network is a temporary network with no network infrastructure. The nodes communicate with each other, they co-operate by forwarding data packets to other nodes in the network. Thus the nodes find a path to the destination node using routing protocols. Due to the security vulnerabilities of the routing protocols, wireless ad-hoc networks are unprotected to attacks of the malicious nodes. One of these attacks is the Sinkhole Attack. Sinkhole attack is a kind of routing attack in MANET. A sinkhole node tries to attract all the network packets to it-self from all neighboring nodes. This paper focuses on to detect and prevent sinkhole node. The detection techniques which make use of proactive routing protocol have better packet delivery ratio and correct detection probability. The detection techniques which make use of reactive routing protocols have low overheads, but have high packet loss problem. Therefore, using a hybrid detection technique which combines the advantages of
In this variety of attack, a malicious node tries to inject pretend messages or routing packets to disrupt the routing mechanism. Such attacks square measure tough to observe in a very Edouard MANET since the routing packets seem to be legitimate packets to the nodes process them. The subsequent attacks square measure samples of attacks by fabrication [13]
Each node in MANETs accept that other nodescontinuouslywork together with each other to transmit data.If MANET can detectthe attackers immediately as they enter the network, we will beable to completely eradicate the possiblecompensationsproduced bycompromised nodes at the first time.
Routing In Manet- All the routing concept basically involves, two activities: firstly, determining optimal routing paths and secondly, transferring the information groups (called packets) through an internetwork. Since the topology of the network is constantly changing, the issue of routing packets between any pair of nodes becomes a challenging task. Most protocols should be based on reactive routing instead of proactive. Multi cast routing is another challenge because the multi cast tree is no longer static due to the random movement of nodes within the network. Routes between nodes may potentially contain multiple hops, which is more complex than the single hop communication.

“The joy of routing” This is the simple attack that basically depend on routing protocols that has been used. It is further categorized in different attacks that can be “Source Routing” In which target host reverses source route in a TCP for traffic that is returning. So facilities can be exchanged between host and attacker. The idea to protect from attacks is to put gateways into the local net for rejection of external packets that acting as part of the local net or to do rejection of pre-authorized connections. Another attack is “The Routing Information Protocol (RIP)” attack is mostly used on local networks like broadcast media. As information here sent is not checked so intruder can change or send modified information due to which protocols that depends on
In this paper, we esteem a particular category of DoS attacks called Jamming. In actual fact, the mobile host in mobile ad hoc networks is a part of wireless medium. Thus, the radio signals can be jammed or interfered, which make the message to be amoral or missed. If the attacker has a strong transmitter, a signal can be launched that will be strong enough to conquer the directed signals and distort communications. There are several attack schemes that a jammer can do in order to interfere with other wireless communications.
Abstract— Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a special self-describing wireless ad hoc network which consists of more number of nodes that can move randomly and erratically. Because of this infrastructure it enables many kinds of attacks and establish topology-exposure problem. Many of the existing multipath protocols may ignore the topology-exposure problem. In this, we proposed a TOpology-HIding multipath routing Protocol (TOHIP) for preventing attacks in topology-exposure. In TOHIP, the link connection information is hidden in route messages, so that the malicious nodes cannot conclude the network topology. In Route Reply phase, the protocol TOHIP can also be used to establish multiple node-disjoint routes and eliminate the unreliable route before transmitting packets in Route Probe phase. With the help of a newly designed protocol, security was assured and earned better capability of finding routes in MANET. The simulation result shows that TOHIP has given better performance when compared with Ad hoc On-demand Multipath Distance Vector (AOMDV) routing protocol.
The majority of all nodes in VANET are vehicles that are able to form self organizing networks without preceding acquaintance of each other. VANET with low defense level are more susceptible to common attacks. There are wide range of applications like commercial establishments, consumers, entertainment where VANET are deployed.
The topology of the Manets is dynamic as the nodes in the network are mobile. As time goes on, nodes move in random manner and so routes are established dynamically.
In this variety of attack, the protocol fields of the messages passed among the nodes is changed, there by leading to traffic subversion or Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. The subsequent sections discuss a number some of these attacks [03]
A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) consists of a set of mobile hosts that carry out basic networking functions like packet forwarding, routing, and service discovery without the help of an established infrastructure [1]. Nodes of an ad hoc network rely on one another in forwarding a packet to its destination, due to the limited range of each mobile host’s wireless transmissions. An ad hoc network uses no centralized administration. This ensures that the network will not cease functioning just because one of the mobile nodes moves out of the range of the others. Nodes should be able to enter and leave the network as they wish. Because of the limited transmitter range of the nodes, multiple hops are generally needed to reach other nodes. Every node in an ad hoc network must be willing to forward packets for other nodes. Thus, every node acts both as a host and as a router. The topology of ad hoc networks varies with time as nodes move, join or leave the network. This topological instability requires a routing protocol to run on each node to create and maintain routes among the nodes [21].
