At present, several efficient routing protocols have been proposed for MANET. Most of these protocols assume a reliable and cooperative environment. However, when malicious nodes are present, the networks are penetrable to various kinds of attacks. In MANET, routing attacks are peculiarly serious. So, this proposed work tries to design and implement Mobile Ad-hoc Networks using GA and BFO algorithm with Black hole attack and prevent the system from threat using these optimization algorithms.

Keywords: Mobile ad hoc network, Genetic Algorithm, Bacterial Foraging Optimization, Dynamic Source Routing protocol.
