Mobile ad hoc network is used in all types of digital and data communication. Since it is wireless so it is more prone to attacks then other methods of communication. Actually it is decentralized system which means it uses autonomous wireless nodes. So every node can behave as a router as well as a host. Also the topology can be varied as nodes are mobile. These nodes have the self configuration policy so any other node can join the network and can influence the network. There are different types of attacks in MANET. In the network layer wormhole, blackhole, Byzantine and other attacks can occur. In this paper there is review of blackhole problem in the MANET.
