摘要

虽然周界安全模型在内部主机可靠时足够有效，但是随着企业采用移动和云技术，如自带设备（BYOD），该模型难以为继。有针对性的高级网络攻击通常采用网络杀伤链，例如，基于网络扫描技术收集潜在目标信息。本文提出一种"隔离和动态"网络防御方法，切断潜在杀伤链，降低攻击者收集信息的可用性。首先，通过网络隔离构建一个零信任网络环境，操纵多维网络属性跳变，使攻击者无法获得目标主机的特征和位置；其次，为企业网络提出一种基于软件定义的主动网络防御解决方案（SPD），并设计了一个通用框架，在不显著影响网络性能条件下，策略性地操纵IP地址、网络端口、域名和路径的协同跳变；然后，通过软件定义网络控制器（OpenDaylight）实现SPD概念验证系统；最后，搭建实验平台验证系统防扫描、防窃听和防拒绝服务（DoS）攻击的能力。结果表明，该系统可以显著降低网络侦察扫描信息的可用性，阻止网络窃听，并大幅增加攻击者的网络攻击成本。

Abstract

Although the perimeter security model works well enough when all internal hosts are credible

it is becoming increasingly difficult to enforce as companies adopt mobile and cloud technologies

i.e.

the rise of bring your own device (BYOD). It is observed that advanced targeted cyber-attacks usually follow a cyber kill chain; for instance

advanced targeted attacks often rely on network scanning techniques to gather information about potential targets. In response to this attack method

we propose a novel approach

i.e.

an "isolating and dynamic" cyber defense

which cuts these potential chains to reduce the cumulative availability of the gathered information. First

we build a zero-trust network environment through network isolation

and then multiple network properties are maneuvered so that the host characteristics and locations needed to identify vulnerabilities cannot be located. Second

we propose a software-defined proactive cyber defense solution (SPD) for enterprise networks and design a general framework to strategically maneuver the IP address

network port

domain name

and path

while limiting the performance impact on the benign network user. Third

we implement our SPD proof-of-concept system over a software-defined network controller (OpenDaylight). Finally

we build an experimental platform to verify the system's ability to prevent scanning

eavesdropping

and denial-of-service attacks. The results suggest that our system can significantly reduce the availability of network reconnaissance scan information

block network eavesdropping

and sharply increase the cost of cyber-attacks.
