AMANET is an infrastructure-less network consisting of mobile nodes with wireless network interfaces. To enable communications among nodes, MANETs dynamically establish paths among the nodes in a multi-hop manner. MANETs find many applications in modern communications but their nature and structure make them vulnerable to various types of attacks. Attackers use various approaches to acquire the valuable resources of MANETs and the attacks decrease throughput and overall network performance.
