Re: [Netdev 0x19] Accepted submission #9 "Real-Time Prevention of DNS-Based Data..." with conditions
Hi Thank you for accepting my submission for inclusion in the conference. However, for talk in the nuts and bolts category, it won't be possible for me to attend physically at the conference venue due to visa restrictions, and my final graduate research defence. I am perfectly fine for the 45 minutes time limit though including QA. It would be really helpful if virtual talk is allowed for this submission.
Alternatively, it is also fine for me to host a workshop virtually, but since my work is more tailoring towards security, I would prefer it to be put into the security category (internally using eBPF, kernel network stack, deep learning, distributed event streaming). My focus for the workshop would be more towards presenting advancement in building data loss prevention solutions for DNS to prevent all the emerging threats I have attached the modified proposal with changed title and abstract for workshop and source code repository.
I would say my talk does not focus on discussing features lacking in eBPF in the kernel, rather only focuses on utilizing eBPF modern features added in latest kernel versions for building modern security solutions. However, I will still talk about eBPF kernel verifier instruction limitation causing some difficulty for me to fully parse DNS protocol questions inside the kernel. This is an open source framework built by me for my graduate research, and I would like to share my learnings with the kernel community. Also attaching the proposal for talk, if allowed to be held virtually, with source code repository.
I look forward to hearing from you soon, about the next steps and format. I could present my research at netdev 0x19.
Thanks, Vedang.

Dear Vedang,
The Netdev 0x19 program committee is informing you that your submission #9 has been accepted to appear in the conference with conditions.
Title: Real-Time Prevention of DNS-Based Data Exfiltration Using eBPF, Deep Learning, and Event-Driven Analytics: A Security Framework for Distributed Environments Authors: Vedang Parasnis Site: https://0x19.netdevconf.info/paper/9?cap=09afJ7fIp8guM8We think your session is interesting, however because we received a large volume of submissions we prioritized to allowing talks where the speakers would actually show up. Are you able to show up? If yes, that will automatically grant you a slot for a talk. But we can only give you upto 45 minutes including QA. Alternatively, we could put you in a workshop for machine learning which will give you the opportunity to present virtually.
In addition, here are some reviewer comments
It would be interesting to hear about which limitations of BPF the authors ran into while implementing this, and whether there are any features they were missing from the kernel/BPF side that would make their implementation easier. It is not clear from the proposal whether this is part of the talk. Also, the proposal doesn't state whether this is an open source framework with code available. Is it?

Hi Vedang, What you are suggesting makes sense (in the use of eBPF as a tool). For a talk its really preferable you are there in person. Instead, we could turn this into a security BoF - we'll find someone in location to physically chair it. Since your focus is DNS - can you suggest an appropriate title for the BoF? Then we'd have to change the title so it more aligns with a BoF instead of a talk.
Just to make sure forwarding my response Thanks, Vedang.

Hi, No I did not receive your response, regarding conversion to BoF, I have subscribed to People's mailing list for netdev and receive updates around the same, but not this one.
Ok, thats strange. Basically a better opportunity is to make a BoF format - then we can allow it to be virtual on Monday and give you an hour. Title could be: "Real-Time Prevention of DNS-Based Data Exfiltration BoF"
cheers, jamal
Thanks, Vedang.

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: vedang parasnis vedang.parasnis921@gmail.com Date: Tue, Feb 4, 2025 at 1:45 PM Subject: Re: [Netdev 0x19] Accepted submission #9 "Real-Time Prevention of DNS-Based Data..." with conditions To: submissions-0x19@netdevconf.info
Hi Thank you for accepting my submission for inclusion in the conference. However, for talk in the nuts and bolts category, it won't be possible for me to attend physically at the conference venue due to visa restrictions, and my final graduate research defence. I am perfectly fine for the 45 minutes time limit though including QA. It would be really helpful if virtual talk is allowed for this submission.
Alternatively, it is also fine for me to host a workshop virtually, but since my work is more tailoring towards security, I would prefer it to be put into the security category (internally using eBPF, kernel network stack, deep learning, distributed event streaming). My focus for the workshop would be more towards presenting advancement in building data loss prevention solutions for DNS to prevent all the emerging threats I have attached the modified proposal with changed title and abstract for workshop and source code repository.
I would say my talk does not focus on discussing features lacking in eBPF in the kernel, rather only focuses on utilizing eBPF modern features added in latest kernel versions for building modern security solutions. However, I will still talk about eBPF kernel verifier instruction limitation causing some difficulty for me to fully parse DNS protocol questions inside the kernel. This is an open source framework built by me for my graduate research, and I would like to share my learnings with the kernel community. Also attaching the proposal for talk, if allowed to be held virtually, with source code repository.
I look forward to hearing from you soon, about the next steps and format. I could present my research at netdev 0x19.
Thanks, Vedang.

Hi, Apologize for the delayed response, I saw the Bof session was published, the published title and description for the session looks good to me.
Thanks, Vedang.
