With the advancement in wireless technologies, wireless networks are developing at a fast rate and so are the MANET's.Several routing attacks are introduced in the wireless networks due to their dynamically changing network topologies.A severe type of attack known as wormhole attack is the main theme of this paper and the work has been done to detect and prevent this attack.The work has been done with the help of DSR protocol.The existing functionality of DSR is extended so that the wormhole nodes are easily detected in the routing path and then that path is not used in the future because it is blacklisted by the network.A brief overview of the algorithm is also mentioned in the paper by which the detection and elimination of wormhole node is actually done.
