I read the whitepaper and since I understand Dat using original Kademlia design then how Dat handles number of attacks such as DDOS or sybil and/or churn?

Yes it would be interesting to see other approaches. I believe S/Kademlia describes the general idea of signing DHT entries but does not specify it as a RFC, and I do not believe there is an implementation in JavaScript. However if you know of one you can implement other providers by adding them to this module https://github.com/maxogden/discovery-channel. You could take the Dat keypair and use the S/Kademlia signature schemes.
I don’t hold a strong opinion yet on the right solution. We’re researching different things, not just around security, but also privacy and reliability. SKademlia should be one of the things we look at.
