Abstract
Ad-hoc network is self configured infrastructure less network without wires connection. The connections are established without any centralized administration. This study is to recognize the flaws of existing solutions to combat the DDoS attack and a prevention scheme is being provided with its validation to reduce the effect of DDoS attack in MANET Environment. As Internet users are growing day by day, it is becoming more prone to attacks and new hacking techniques. People are accessing information and communicating with each other on the move. Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is responsible for this rapid change in the alive of people. With the emergence of technology, where people transfer or share important documentations on the go with the help of laptops, PDAs, notebooks, smart phones etc., the loopholes in the Internet security have also enlarged and they are becoming more difficult to handle due to the characteristics of MANET such as dynamic topologies, low battery life, multicast routing, scalability, mobile agent based routing and power conscious routing, etc. The network is becoming more prone to attacks like DDoS attack, byzantine attack, resource consumption attack, blackhole attack,grayhole attack, etc. Therefore, there is an urgent need to expression into the security issues to allow authorized users to access the information available on Internet without any risk. In this study, the proposed scheme is the capability to prevent Distributed
