A Review of AI-Based Intrusion Detection Systems for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs)
Abstract: Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) comprise wireless networks that lack any conventional infrastructure . Their chief features include highly changing network topologies, lack of centralized administration, and open nature of communication, which collectively result in making MANETs of the wireless kind very susceptible to a diverse range of cyber-attacks like blackhole, greyhole, wormhole, flooding, Sybil and denial-of-service (DoS) among others. Conventionally, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) relying on static rule-based methods …
