About
Uday Pandit Khot is a cybersecurity researcher whose work focuses on the detection and mitigation of advanced, stealthy network threats, particularly those exploiting anonymizing infrastructure. His key research areas include botnet detection, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack analysis, and network security within private Tor networks. Khot’s major contribution lies in developing an efficient technique to identify slow-rate DDoS attacks originating from private Tor networks—a challenging problem because the Tor browser’s encryption and anonymity make traditional detection methods ineffective. His work addresses the growing threat of BotMasters using Tor to conceal botnet command-and-control activities, offering a practical approach to uncovering these hidden attacks. While his most-cited paper, "An efficient technique to detect slow rate DDoS attack from a private Tor network" (2020), has garnered 3 citations, its significance extends beyond raw numbers: it pioneers a targeted method for a niche but critical security gap. Khot’s research is particularly valuable for network defenders and students interested in the intersection of anonymity networks and cybercrime, demonstrating how to adapt detection strategies to evolving attacker tactics. His work underscores the importance of staying ahead of adversaries who exploit privacy tools for malicious purposes.
