EXPLORING MANET SECURITY ASPECTS: ANALYSIS OF ATTACKS AND NODE MISBEHAVIOUR ISSUES

Mobile ad hoc networks are susceptible to various security threats due their open media nature and mobility, making them a top priority for measures. This paper provides an in-depth examination of MANET issues. Some the most critical aspects mobile networks, including applications, have been discussed. is followed by discussion MANETs' design vulnerability external internal caused inherent network characteristics such as limited battery power, dynamic topology, media, so on. Numerous MANET-related attacks classified based on sources, behaviour, participating nodes, processing capability, layering. The many different types misbehaviour node can exhibit ways behave were investigated. Two major MANETs evaluated, analysed. Notably, mitigating in issue that must be addressed ensure functionality availability. Strategies detecting nodes misroute packets also examined. Finally, emphasises need effective solutions secure MANETs.
