The document summarizes various approaches for detecting misbehavior in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). It discusses passive attacks like eavesdropping and active attacks like black hole attacks that affect MANETs. It then summarizes five acknowledgement-based techniques for detecting packet dropping attacks in MANETs: Watchdog, PathRater, TwoAck, EAACK and SCAN. Watchdog detects misbehavior by comparing overheard packets to a buffer of recently sent packets. PathRater maintains ratings for nodes and selects paths with the highest rating. TwoAck requires acknowledgement from nodes two hops away to detect packet dropping. EAACK addresses weaknesses in Watchdog using digital signatures and acknowledgements. SCAN collabor
