The ad-hoc networks are the temporarily established wireless networks which do not require fixed Infrastructure. It is also called as Infrastructure less network. Each mobile node functions as base station and as router forwarding packets for other mobile nodes in network. Among all attacks wormhole attack is most dangerous attack. In this attack an attacker capture the packets at one node in the network and send it to the another attacker node at a distant location through tunnels which is established through different ways like packet encapsulation, using high power transmission or by using direct antennas. Wormhole attack is so strong and detection of this attack is hard. Also, the wormhole attack may cause another type of attacks like Sinkhole or Select forwarding. Using a cryptographic technique is not enough to prevent wormhole attack. In this paper we are going to review some methods in wormhole detection and investigate the weaknesses and strengths of the methods.
