Security mechanism in wireless ad-hoc networks is
a highly a challenging concern. Security in the MANET
communication network is significant for secure transmission of
information. Many security mechanisms for mobile ad-hoc
network (MANET) have been proposed in the day to day events.
Absence of any central co-ordination mechanism and shared
wireless medium makes MANET more susceptible to cyber
attacks than wired network there are a number of attacks that
affect MANET. In MANET, all networking functions such as
routing and packet distribution are performed by nodes in a self
organizing manner. Due to these reasons, securing a Mobile Adhoc
Network is very challenging.

MANET
Security mechanism
rushing attack
black hole attack
neighbor attack and jellyfish attack
Maintaining of dynamic topology and the distributed
operation on MANET is more vulnerable to many attacks.
In this paper, we discuss various types of security attacks
and its function. Different security mechanisms are
introduced in order to prevent MANET and also identify
the type of attack which has been occurred in the
MANET.
