Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks are among the top toughest security threats in today’s cyberspace. The multitude, diversity, and variety of both the attacks and their countermeasures have the consequence that no optimal solutions exist. However, many mitigation techniques and strategies have been proposed among which is Moving Target Defense (MTD). MTD strategy keeps changing the system states and attack surface dynamically by continually applying various systems reconfigurations aiming at increasing the uncertainty and complexity for attackers. Current proposals of MTD fall into one of three strategies: shuffling, diversity, and redundancy, based on what to move? how to move? and when to move? Despite the existence of such strategies, a comprehensive Framework for MTD techniques against DDoS attacks that can be used for all types of DDoS attacks has not been proposed yet. In this paper, we propose a novel and comprehensive Framework of MTD techniques considering all stages, mechanisms, data sources, and criteria adopted by the research community, the Framework will apply to all DDoS attacks on different systems. To efficiently use our proposed model, a comprehensive taxonomy of MTD mitigation techniques and strategies is also provided and can be used as a reference guide for the best selection of the model’s parameters.
