This paper discussed about two proactive protocols which are DSDV and OLSR as well as two reactive protocols which are AODV and DSR. In addition, security analyses have been conducted and it covered the possible attacks that can be implemented against Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET). Furthermore, analysis and the comparison studies of the routing protocols in MANET that is conducted by simulation are discussed. The metrics have been used to compare these routing protocols are throughput, end to end delay, packet delivery ratio fraction verses the number of nodes in AODV and DSR. A black hole security attack was simulated and analyzed for DSDV, AODV and DSR. This study also investigated the impact of the increased in number of nodes used in the simulation to have more accurate results for the analysis.
