Abstract: The flattening towards wireless network from wired network offers has become a worldwide trend in the past few decades. The versatility as well as scalability brought by wireless network created it possible in countless applications. Involving all of the contemporary wireless networks, mobile Ad hoc NETwork is one of the most essential and unique applications. On the contrary to ordinary network architecture, MANET does not need a fixed network infrastructure; every single node works as both a sender and a receiver. Nodes communicate directly with each other when they are both within the same communication range. Otherwise, they depend on their neighbors to exchange messages. The self-configuring ability of nodes in MANET has made it popular among critical objective applications like military use or emergency recovery. However, the public medium and wide distribution of nodes make MANET susceptible to malicious attackers. In this case, it is vital to build an efficient intrusiondetection mechanisms to protect MANET from attacks. With the enhancements to the technology and cut in hardware costs. We are witness to a current trend of widening MANETs into industrial applications. To adapt towards these trend, we strongly believe that it is required to address its potential security issues. In this paper, we propose and implement a new intrusion detection system named enhanced adaptive ACKnowledgement(EAACK) particularly designed for MANETs. Compared to modern approaches, EAACK demonstrates higher malicious behavior detection rates in certain conditions while does not immensely affect the network performance.

1. INTRODUCTION Due to their natural mobility and scalability, wireless networks are always preferred since the first day of their invention. Owing to the improved technology and reduced costs, wireless networks have gained much more preferences over wired networks in the past few decades. A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a self-organizing and self configuring multihop wireless network, where the network structure changes dynamically due to member mobility. Ad hoc wireless network are self creating and self organizing and self administrating. The nodes are free to move randomly and organize themselves arbitrarily; thus, the network’s wireless topology may change rapidly and unpredictably. MANETS are used in many contexts such as in mobile social networks, emergency deployment, intelligent transportation systems etc. Nodes in a MANET freely move around while communicating with each other. These networks may perform in the presence of nodes with a selfish behavior particularly when operating under energy constraints. In the transmission of the packets these selfish node will typically not cooperate, seriously affect the network

performance. Selfish nodes are the nodes participating in the network which are hesitated to forward the packets in order to save the resources under the energy constraints. Nodes which all are less frequent may also fail to cooperate either intentionally (a malicious behavior) or due to faulty software or hardware. Watchdogs are well known mechanism to detect the threats and attacks from the misbehaved and selfish nodes in the networks. Watchdog systems overhear traffic and perform analysis using data collected to decide the grade of misbehavior that neighbor node presents. Watchdogs are the mechanism which is appropriate to detect these situations .To makes the decision regarding the neighboring nodes whether they are cooperating or not, watchdog systems overhear wireless traffic and analyze. Several works have done the impact of the selfishness of the nodes on MANETs proposing different detection mechanisms [2][3]. This improves the accuracy of the detection and will also reduce the overall time detection. In this way we can increase the network performance. Routing is to find and maintain routes
