Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) represent a dynamic and self-configuring network paradigm where nodes communicate without a fixed infrastructure. This paper provides a succinct yet comprehensive exploration of MANETs and their distinctive characteristics, emphasizing the challenges associated with routing in such decentralized environments. In parallel, the paper introduces Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), a nature-inspired algorithm known for its prowess in solving optimization problems through the simulation of ant foraging behavior. The paper summarizes key findings stemming from an in-depth exploration of ACO's applicability in the context of MANETs. Through a critical analysis of existing literature, the research identifies opportunities for synergy between ACO and MANETs, showcasing the potential improvements in routing performance. The impacts of the presented work lie in advising a novel mixing technique that weights the ability of the ACO to adjust by altering the network conditions and by optimizing the decisions of routing strategy. The fusion of Ant Colony Optimization into Mobile Ad Hoc Networks presents a favorable road path for gripping the inherited contests inherent that lie in the distributed communication. By exploiting the ethics of swarm intelligence, this research paper encourages an adaptive, robust, and efficient framework for routing in MANET by offering the better throughput in the experiments.

Man-in-the-middle attacks in mobile ad hoc networks (manets): analysis and evaluation.

1. Introduction

• We discovered two types of MITM attackers in the MANET, each of which had unique skills such as message dropping and message delaying;
• We determined various strategies of the MITM attacker according to the stationary mobility of legal nodes and the distribution of the harmful nodes in the MANET;
• We implemented a model based on simulation in order to estimate the influence of the attackers’ patterns.

2. Related Work

3. man-in-the-middle attacks.

• Passive Mode: The communication line between legal nodes can be passively eavesdropped on by an attacker.
• Active Mode: Attackers have the active capability to delay or drop the content of data that is received in a communication.
• MITM as Message Delayed: The successful delivery of messages to each valid node is essential to the operation of MANET. In this assault architecture, the harmful nodes purposefully pass the messages on to the neighboring nodes with a “delay” factor. Since MANET communications are extremely sensitive, delaying such signals might have disastrous effects on the network.
• MITM as Message Dropped: This kind of assault also indicates a “black hole” assault in MANET, which is when the attacker willfully drops the valid message they have just received, hence preventing further valid message propagation. As a result, the assailant prevents the valid node from receiving any communication, which then prevents the messages from reaching their intended recipients. Dropping the messages can have a big effect on the network because they carry delicate data, such as in collision avoidance. Imagine an instance where valid nodes are supposed to announce the presence of black ice on the path.

4. Environment of Simulation

4.1. setup of simulation.

• Scenario one: Assailants are dispersed randomly throughout the system;
• Scenario two: Assailants are gathered in a fleet configuration.

4.2. Simulation Scenario Setup

4.3. performance evaluation metrics.

• End-to-End Delay (E2ED): The E2ED refers to the delay experienced by a packet that has been issued by the legal node and which is to be shared with neighboring nodes. The E2ED is a metric related to the quality of service (QoS) of the network, as shown in the following equation: E 2 ED = T R − T G (1) where T R is the packet reception time, and T G is the packet generation time. Hence, E2ED is the difference of T G and T R .
• Packet Loss Ratio (PLR): The PLR indicates the amount of data that is lost due to MITM nodes, as expressed by the following equation: PLR = M L M T (2) where M T is the overall number of messages received, and M L is the total number of messages lost. Therefore, PLR is the difference of M T and M L . More specifically, the total number of messages M T includes messages received at both the legal node M R and the harmful node M L , as shown in the following equation: M L + M R = M T (3)
• Amount of delayed messages: This indicator displays the number of data that the rogue node has delayed.
• Amount of dropped messages: The dropping of messages from legal nodes is the statistic that is defined for MITM. The number of messages discarded by network attackers is indicated by this measure.

5. Results and Discussion

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks: Issues, Research Trends and Experiments

2008, International Engineering and …

A novel infrastructureless mobile networks (MANETs) is a collection of wireless nodes that can dynamically form a network to exchange information. The special features of MANET bring this technology great opportunity together with severe challenges. This paper describes the fundamental problems of ad hoc networking by giving its related background including the concept, features, applications, issues of MANETs, investigates and presents recent research trends and identifies Simulators for MANETs[5]. Based on recent research interests of scholars we found that some issues such as routing and power management attracted much attention and issues such as IP addressing and fault tolerance will have wide scope in the future. In the qualitative analysis [5], we found that some factors such as scalability, stability, and reliability attracted much. The essential simulation metrics for various MANET issues are identified and Simulators are listed for experiment. The analysis results demonstrate the utilization trends for various MANET simulators.

— A mobile ad hoc network is the self-configure and self-organized infrastructure less network that is used for wireless. Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) are not used any centralized device to manage the nodes [1]. The range or the paths between the nodes are limited. When a node are move far from the range that node are out of network. This paper presents the study of the Manet Types, Features and its Challenges.

MANET is a collection of various mobile nodes that are helpful to communicate with each other without any centralized control which are wireless and work as dynamic network. The current generation is much advanced in using such type of networks, which is very flexible and portable to the end users, which is most economical. The applications of this MANETs are used world wide due to its advantages, but still there are some issues which need to be resolved, known as challenges. This paper is on the various challenges and characteristics of MANET.

International Journal of Engineering and Computer Science, 2019

Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is the one of the type of ad hoc network, the MANET is a collection of two or more devices or nodes or terminals with wireless communications and networking capability that communicate with each other without the aid of any centralized administrator also the wireless nodes that can dynamically form a network to exchange information without using any existing fixed network infrastructure. And it's an autonomous system in which mobile hosts connected by wireless links are free to be dynamically and sometime act as routers at the same time, In MANET, the mobile nodes require to forward packets for each other to enable communication among nodes outside of transmission range. The nodes in the network are free to move independently in any direction, leave and join the network arbitrarily. Thus a node experiences changes in its link states regularly with other devices. Eventually, the mobility in the ad hoc network, change of link states and other proper...

Mobile Ad hoc Network is an ad hoc network that can be formed to allow nodes to communicate without any infrastructure. The set up of MANET makes it very popular as compared to the traditional wireless network. In traditional wireless network, mid-point is required for overall process of the network, whereas MANET is self-organized and infrastructure-free network, which is considered as a good approach for some specific applications such as battlefield survivability, communication in the natural or manmade disaster areas, emergency or rescue operations. This research work attempts to provide a wide overview of this active field and it first explains detailed survey of MANET in different fields and then takes over several challenges and issues in the Ad hoc networking area. Finally specify the active application areas of MANET and describes the future work.
