The mobile Ad-hoc Network is a wireless, infrastructure-free network that self-organizes as needed. It implies that the network can be dynamically changed without centralized control. A Mobile Agent's ability to switch between systems inside the same network is a special characteristic. This skill somewhat aids researchers in dealing with security concerns in MANET. This leads to topological changes, which expose MANETs to various security threats. A network in which mobile nodes can join and leave at any time is a mobile ad hoc network. Due to the self-configuring nature of the network, malicious nodes can sneak in and launch a range of active and passive attacks. Active attacks affect a network's performance in terms of specific traits several protocols have been developed for these networks to find peer-to-peer paths between active nodes. The malevolent nodes can easily target these routing protocols. It is urgently necessary to identify and stop assaults launched by rogue nodes without disrupting network services. The investigation of numerous risks to the security of MANETS and the methods for detecting and preventing them is presented in this paper.a
