PREVENTING BLACK HOLE ATTACK
Abstract: MANETs system made out of remote portable device that communicates by transferring on
wireless medium. This system & portrayed by absence of infrastructure, without focal facilitator and
central assets. Communication is conceivable by device in a system are helpful; however it is not generally
valid in disseminated compelled asset condition. Hacker can play out the malicious exercises by not
following directing convention of network layer protocols, one such attack is black hole attack. In which
black hole device control the routing messages and pull in the correspondence data towards it and after that
drop the data. Earlier works identifies and prevent black hole attack by observing the nodes in a network,
which is not practical arrangement in hostile environment. The proposed technique mitigates Black hole
Attack from routing path in MANETs by Secret Key and Hashing. Analysis of our results demonstrates
that our proposed technique precisely remove the black hole attack and extend the performance of network.
