Abstract
Technological advancement in the field of telecommunication has led to the creation of highly dynamic networks, one of such is Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks which can be described as an autonomous collection of devices (mobile devices) that offers dynamic topologies, no central administration, dynamic and ever mobile nodes and so on, information becomes easy to disseminate. Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks and the various features it provides affects the security of the network. A network with dynamic nodes and no central administration can be prone to network attacks one of such is session hijacking. Integrity is paramount in any network, session hijacking affects the integrity of data on a network, important information is leaked also due to the sensitive application of MANETs especially in the military these has to be avoided. This paper looks into session hijacking in MANETS, reviewed various existing solutions to find out gaps and also proposing an optimised IDS which offers more flexibility and also dynamic applications in any network traffic environment.
