Abstract - Many computing systems have recently suffered significantly from hacking and preventing hacking is important in protecting business, sensitive information and every day network communications. Many efforts have been made to provide security assurance by proposing security solutions. However, the gap between hacking incidents and current security solutions is significant. Fortunately, hacking attempts can be addressed if the pre-hacking step, called scanning, is properly investigated and good counter measures are in place. The importance of scanning appears is in providing sophisticated hackers with the necessary information about nominated victims systems which eventually forms their hacking strategies. Therefore, this article proposes a security solution that aims to make scanning difficult by addressing its properties, which makes developing hacking strategies against protected computer networks unpractical. The proposed security solution protects computer networks by dynamically generating a unique protocol to replace the expected standard protocols and changing network paths periodically in order to confuse scanning attempts, as well as to prevent unauthorized scanning and hacking traffic.
