“…The unnecessary heterogeneity within a MANET network ensures an absence of reliable routes, thus disabling effective transmission within the network. Other network layer attacks in MANETs include Selfishness [30]. In this attack, an infected node act malevolently and uncooperatively.…”

Compared to wired-infrastructure dependent networks, Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are more vulnerable to attacks. Because of their dynamic topology and the absence of centralized network administration, MANETs face more security threats than centralized networks. Initial literature review on MANETs' security issues indicates that while there have been attempts to identify security threats and solutions on MANETs, comprehensive reviews are very little or lacking. In an attempt to address this gap, this article offers an up-to-date literature on security issues and solutions in MANETs. By limiting the review to 21 st Century research on this topic, this review paper is able to offer a comprehensive presentation of the issues concerning security in MANETs.

“…It is a denial of service attack that can be targeted against either a legitimate single or legitimates multiple nodes whose vital resources need to be made exhausted [5]. Malicious node (s) force the legitimate nodes to use their vital resources such as battery power, bandwidth or computing power by sending false requests for existent or non-existent destination nodes.…”

MANETs (Mobile Adhoc Networks) are used to build up dynamic wireless networks which have no strictly defined infrastructure and no fixed topology with lucrative flexibilities to be used in various applications. Nodes with malicious intent or misleading behavior can join the adhoc network together with trustworthy nodes easily due to inherent characteristics of MANETs which makes them more prone to several attacks than wired networks. Conventional security policies and mechanisms designed for wired networks are mostly considered inadequate and ineffective for these highly dynamic and resource-constrained Adhoc networks. To design and develop security models for MANETs we must first be intriguing about the possible security attacks that may pounce upon different adhoc network scenarios. This paperwork focusses our attention on a comprehensive review to the various security threats and attacks prevalent in MANETs with the classification being done by taking into account the layered architecture of TCP/IP protocol suite underneath it.
