Mobile Adhoc Network is one of the infrastructures-less, decentralized wireless networks that can reconfigure by itself. MANET does not depend on the access points in the network, where it can accommodate any existing infrastructure. Since it is an ad-hoc network, all the nodes in the MANET are mobile nodes connected wirelessly. Depending on the routing protocols, single-hop, two-hop, and multi-hop-based data transmission is followed in the MANET. These models provide more opportunities for malicious activity creation in the network, where it destroys data transmission and loss. Several earlier research works have focused on detecting and eliminating malicious activities. One of the dangerous attacks that defy detection of the physical properties is the Blockhole attack, and they don't respond to its sender and receiver nodes. Compared to other malicious attacks, blackhole attacks result in a small amount of data loss in the network, and they are considered a major research problem in MANET. This paper has aimed to provide a better solution using the RTS-CTS mechanism and initialize the data transmission with dummy data to detect the black hole nodes. Once the black nodes are identified in the network, they are eliminated immediately, and their functionalities are with the neighbor nodes. The simulation results obtained from NS2 show that the proposed RTS-CTS mechanism outperforms and provides better QoS.
