This paper presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of intrusion detection systems and secure routing protocols proposed for ad hoc networks. The study reviews anomaly detection models, trust-based systems, cryptographic extensions of routing protocols and recent bio-inspired security enhancements. Their detection and resilience capabilities are analyzed against performance overhead metrics to assess suitability to resource-constrained environments. The key findings highlight the merits of machine learning models in detecting known and zero-day attacks, with SVM demonstrating optimal accuracy. Secure protocols like ARAN, SAODV, SAR limit external attacks at the cost of processing delays. The results emphasize the complex trade-offs between network security and efficiency. Lightweight integrated security solutions emerging from fields like swarm intelligence hold promise for future ad hoc networks expecting harsh, unpredictable conditions
