Intrusion Detection System for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks: A Survey

Today it is very important to provide a high level security to protect highly sensitive and private information. Intrusion Detection System is an essential technology in Network Security. Nowadays researchers have interested on intrusion detection system using Data mining techniques as an artful skill. So my aim is to use IDS system and improve the performance of the IDS. IDS is a software or hardware device that deals with attacks by collecting information from a variety of system and network sources, then analyzing symptoms of security problems. The main focus of Intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS) is to identify the possible incidents, logging information about them and in report attempts. But sometimes IDS is not able to detect some new attacks and vulnerabilities. The main aim of this report is to provide the knowledge of the IDS and also gives the survey of specification-based IDS in wireless ad-hoc network. So this report provides basic knowledge of IDS system as well as how to use MANET protocol for IDS and improve the performance of IDS and future research.
