Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are self-organizing nodes in a mobile network that collaborate to form dynamic network architecture to establish connections. In MANET, data must traverse several intermediary nodes before reaching its destination. There must be security in place to prevent hostile nodes from accessing this data. Multiple methods were suggested in literature for securing routing; these techniques tackle different aspects of security. In order to enhance fault tolerance, wireless network multipath routing is typically used instead of the original single path routing. The routing protocol Genetic Algorithm with Hill climbing (GAHC) described in this article shows a hybrid GA-Hill Climbing algorithm that picks the optimal route in multipath. Prior to this in the beginning, the Improved fuzzy C-means algorithm method was built on density peak, and cluster heads (CHs) were chosen in a predicted manner, based on recent, indirect, and direct trust. The computation is based worth nodes are at the trust threshold found in addition. Even CHs take part in the alternate paths, the blend of all the many paths from these Cluster Heads that chooses the optimal route, which is based on the predicted hybrid protocol, as well as the optimum route's aggregate features such as throughput, latency, and connection. This suggested technique requires a minimum amount of energy of 0.10 m joules and a small amount of delay time of 0.004 msec, which also yields a maximum throughput of 0.85 bits per second, a maximum detection rate of 91 percent and maximum packet delivery ratio of 89percent. The suggested approach was put through the paces with the selective packet dropping attack.
