Evaluating Deception and Moving Target Defense with Network Attack Simulation. (arXiv:2301.10629v1 [cs.CR])

In the field of network security, with the ongoing arms race between
attackers, seeking new vulnerabilities to bypass defense mechanisms and
defenders reinforcing their prevention, detection and response strategies, the
novel concept of cyber deception has emerged. Starting from the well-known
example of honeypots, many other deception strategies have been developed such
as honeytokens and moving target defense, all sharing the objective of creating
uncertainty for attackers and increasing the chance for the attacker of making
mistakes. In this paper …
