MANET is self-configuring and self-maintaining network composing of mobile nodes that communicate over wireless channel

Characteristics of MANET

Ø  Communication via wireless.

Ø  Dynamic network topology.

Ø  Nodes can perform the roles of both hosts and  routers.    

Ø  Energy constrained.

Ø  Limited security.

Ø  Autonomous, no infrastructure needed.

Ø  No centralized controller

Two kinds of attack: passive eavesdropping and active interference.

These attacks could target a number of devices or services in MANETS such as wireless channels, routing protocols, high applications, or even security mechanisms themselves
