What is Chhoyhopper: A Moving Target Defense with IPv6 about?

Services on the public Internet are frequently scanned, then subject to brute-force and denial-of-service attacks. We would like to run such services stealthily, available to friends but hidden from adversaries. In this work, we propose a moving target defense named "Chhoyhopper" that utilizes the vast IPv6 address space to conceal publicly available services. The client and server to hop to different IPv6 addresses in a pattern based on a shared, pre-distributed secret and the time-of-day. By hopping over a /64 prefix, services cannot be found by active scanners, and passively observed information is useless after two minutes. We demonstrate our system with SSH, and show that it can be extended to other applications.
