The nodes in an ad hoc network communicate using wireless links which are by nature vulnerable to interference and channel errors that may corrupt some or many data packets. Moreover, the nodes share the physical medium, compete to transmit data packets and suffer collisions. Thus, one of the problems in detecting malicious nodes that drop packets is that it may not be clear as to whether the packet was dropped due to channel errors, collisions, or due to malicious intent. In most detection mechanisms, the number of packets that are not forward is recorded by a passive listener. In this paper we discussed attacks of MANET.
