Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) use anonymous location based routing protocols (ALERT) that hide node identities and routes from outside observers in order to provide anonymity protection rather than relying on hop-by-hop encryption and redundant traffic. The existing anonymous location based efficient routing protocol selects forwarder node in random fashion which may have less power level and memory space which in turn may lead to route failure and not ensure reliability. To offer efficient anonymity protection, Modified Anonymous location based efficient routing protocol selects forwarder node with high power level and high memory space. Node categorization algorithm is used to avoid inside attackers. MALERT is distinguished by its low cost and anonymity protection for sources, destinations, and routes. It uses dynamic hierarchical zone partitions to make it difficult for an intruder to detect the two endpoints and route of the transmission. This achieves comparable routing efficiency and provides efficient solution to timing attack than ALERT.
