A Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is an autonomous wireless networking system consisting of independent nodes that move and dynamically change network connectivity. Mobile Ad hoc wireless networks eliminate the constraints of infrastructure and enable devices to create and join networks anytime, anywhere. The lack of infrastructure and nodes mobility in mobile ad hoc networks makes this type of network vulnerable to different types of network attacks. One of the most import types is black hole attack. Black hole attack is the simple but effective type that is based on the insertion of a malicious node having the capacity to take the identity of valid nodes on an ad hoc network. This insertion leads to disturbances in the network and that due to the participation of all the nodes in the routing. Since a malicious node gives false information of having shortest route to the destination node so as to get all data packets and drops it. In MANET it’s hard to detect behavior anomalies especially to determine the authenticity of messages of applications including routing protocols because changes occur very frequently. No central authorities or infrastructures remain in place for key management or for other proactive or preventive security measures. The strict performance management including latency that is inherent in any security protocol is not possible because performance cannot be guaranteed over a MANET. In this paper, we survey different classifications of black-hole battling strategies which are pernicious conduct classification and we discuss the state-of-the-art of different routing methods as well as the attributes of every strategy and its impact on system execution. Moreover, we compare and analyze the existing solutions and its effects on network performance for different performance metric and for different network performance.
