Security is an essential requirement in wireless ad hoc network. The type of ad hoc networks makes them vulnerable to distinct forms of attack. The random nature of these networks makes invoke of security a challenging issue. The paper shows the main vulnerabilities in the mobile ad hoc networks, which have made it much easier to suffer from attacks. Then it presents the main attack categories that exist in it. Finally presents the current security solutions for the mobile ad hoc network.
