MTD-Playground: An Attacker-Aware Evaluation Framework for Network Moving Target Defense
A new open evaluation framework tests Moving Target Defense strategies against adaptive attackers rather than static assumptions—useful for teams considering SDN-based dynamic reconfiguration.

arXiv:2607.12199v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Moving Target Defense (MTD) has emerged as a proactive network cyber defense paradigm that increases attacker uncertainty through dynamic network reconfiguration techniques such as Software-Defined Networking (SDN)-enabled path randomization. However, existing evaluations remain fragmented due to inconsistent attacker assumptions, attack scenarios, and evaluation metrics, limiting reproducibility and deployment-oriented comparison. In this paper,
Editorial Analysis
MTD promises proactive defence but has lacked rigorous, attacker-aware evaluation; this framework helps security architects make evidence-based decisions before investing in dynamic reconfiguration.
