Abstract

A mobile ad hoc network is an adaptable and self configurable network in which mobile nodes communicate with each other with the help of wireless links without any specified infrastructure. It is a network where nodes can act as hosts as well as routers. MANETs can be applied in military, rescue systems etc. and are widely used. There are many security issues related to MANETs because of its dynamic topology, power constraint of mobile nodes etc. which make security of these networks an important research area. MANETs are vulnerable to many attacks like Wormhole attack, Blackhole attack and Jellyfish attack. Jellyfish attack is denial of service attack which is difficult to detect as it obeys all the protocol rules. Main focus is on jellyfish attack and its detection and prevention techniques.
