Literature review of routing attacks in MANET

Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is based on the routing algorithm which adapts the random changes that may occur in the network topology. MANET is the network with the number of mobile nodes that communicates with one another without any centralized infrastructure. A MANET has a self-organizing property due to which every mobile node gets in connect with each other by wireless links, which follows a random topology. Due to this the wireless ad-hoc network is not secure from the attacks of the malicious nodes. This paper presents the literature review of the routing protocols like AODV, DSR and etc. The paper also presents different layers attacks behavior and countermeasures against those attacks like Blackhole attack, Wormhole attack, Greyhole attack and etc.
