Abstract
This thesis is developed in the context of the Master's degree program in Digital Systems Security
of the Department of Digital Systems of the University of Piraeus. Wireless communications have
increasingly begun to enter our lives with the rise of technology as more and more users use their
wireless devices (e.g. smart phones) to access the internet. In this thesis we will analyze ways of
attacks in which a wireless device is located in a decentralize pool of mobile devices. Further
analysis will be done on what MANET networks are, how they work and also on the types of
MANET networks that exist and the protocols with which routing can be performed. Finally we
have further analysis on SD-MANET, where from the beginning we will present and analyze SDN
in terms of how they work and the key components of their architecture. In addition, we will follow
an example of SD-MANET network architecture and how it can play an important role in reducing
vulnerabilities.
