A MANET is a type of ad hoc network that can change locations and configure itself. Because MANETs are having mobility in nature, they use wireless connections to establish various networks. This can be a standard Wi-Fi connection, or another medium, such as a cellular transmission or satellite transmission. A sinkhole attack is one of type of attack that comes under the network layer. In sinkhole attack the malicious node attempts to draw all network traffic towards itself by broadcasting fake routing information. This paper analyse the various detection and countermeasure of Sinkhole attack. This paper further presents possible threats to the MANET paradigm and distinguishes between detection and prevention mechanisms of Sinkhole Attack.
