Each node in Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANETs) communicates with each other for transferring the packet (or data) to destination node. Any anomalous behavior of a node can confine it from executing this operation and even can disturb the whole network process. Therefore, the need of monitoring the nodes arises to keep a check on thebehavior of a node. In this paper, an algorithm is proposed to monitor the nodes & to check if a node is any under attack or not. Moreover, a second layer of security is added which is furnished by a test bed to monitor the nodes.
