Wireless networks are been used now-a-days. The most important fact about wireless network is it is mobile. It is thus used in many fields. One of the most important applications of wireless networks is Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) in which all the nodes work as both transmitter and receiver. MANETs are used in various fields like military, industry and emergency recovery. So it is important to have a firsthand knowledge about MANETs. But there is a certain drawback in MANETs, that it becomes prone to malicious attacks very fast. To avoid such attacks a good intrusion detection and prevention system is needed. In this paper, we have proposed a system which can detect as well as prevent the malicious attacks. The system is named as Enhanced Adaptive ACKnowledgment (EAACK). EAACK gives a better malicious-behavior-detection than the traditional approaches.
