Abstract: Mobile ad hoc network plays a vital base for the future networking ideologies. A MANET is a part of wireless network which forms a topology based on their communication range or distance. Each node in the network is responsible for efficient communication. Each node acts as router and passes data packets from source to destination. Nodes may be either in static or mobile in nature. If any malicious node enters into the network it might result in loss of data packets. However, it is possible to identify the malicious nodes based on send and receive packet information and change the route from source node to destination node. The malicious path can be identified by calculating the packet drop count.

Keywords: mobile ad hoc networks; MANET; intruder; packet delivery ratio; mobility; WSN; VANET; DTN; malicious; AODV; RREP; route request; RREQ; reliability.
