About

Deepak Singh Tomar is a cybersecurity researcher whose work focuses on web application security, digital forensics, and the growing threats posed by automated web-based attacks. His most cited paper, “A New Web Forensic Framework for Bot Crime Investigation” (2020, 27 citations), introduces a structured methodology for investigating bot-driven cybercrimes on the web, providing law enforcement and forensic analysts with a practical toolkit for tracing malicious automated activity. In a complementary study, “The Emerging Threats of Web Scraping to Web Applications Security and Their Defense Mechanism” (2020, 7 citations), Tomar systematically analyzes how web scrapers—tools that robotically extract data from websites—can be weaponized to compromise application security, and proposes countermeasures to protect sensitive data from unauthorized harvesting. His work bridges the gap between forensic science and real-world web defense, offering both investigative frameworks and preventative strategies. By highlighting the dual-use nature of web scraping and the sophistication of bot crime, Tomar’s research has become a reference point for scholars and practitioners seeking to understand and mitigate automated threats to web applications.
