Effectiveness of moving target defense using network address scuffling

Abstract

Moving Target Defense (MTD) has been proposed as a new innovative technology to change the unbalanced condition between attacks and defenses. Network address scuffling is an important branch of MTD technology. Adopting moving target defense (MTD) helps to prevent the cyber-attacks by continuously changing the attack outward. Here, we use the transmutation pattern for scuffling the network address. Virtual IP creation and IP address scuffling is the main concept in our project. In this project, we use a server similar to DNS server for mapping the virtual IP to real IP. Then, we summarize and analyze the supporting techniques and related features for each network address scuffling technique mentioned in this paper.
