Abstract: Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) have become one of the hottest research areas in computer science, including in military and civilian applications. Such applications have formed a variety of security threats, particularly in unattended environments. An Intrusion detection system (IDS) must be in place to ensure the security and reliability of MANET services. These IDS must be compatible with the characteristics of MANETs and competent in discovering the biggest number of potential security threats. In this work, a specialized dataset for MANET is implemented to identify and classify three types of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks: Blackhole, Grayhole and Flooding Attack. This work utilized a cluster-based routing algorithm (CBRA) in MANET.A simulation to gather data, then processed to create eight attributes for creating a specialized dataset using Java. Mamdani fuzzy-based inference system (MFIS) is used to create dataset labelling. Furthermore, an ensemble classification technique is trained on the dataset to discover and classify three types of attacks. The proposed ensemble classification has six base classifiers, namely, C4.5, Fuzzy Unordered Rule Induction Algorithm (FURIA), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Multinomial Logistic Regression (MLR), Naive Bayes (NB) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The experimental results demonstrate that MFIS with the Ensemble classification technique enables an enhancing security in MANET’s by modeling the interactions among a malicious node with number of legitimate nodes. This is suitable for future works on multilayer security problem in MANET.
