Report on Javascript attacks on Unix

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:
Prepare a report discussing from an administration and security perspective, role and function of a JavaScript within a UNIX network. You should illustrate your answer with practical examples. In particular attention should me paid to the following points:

1. What type of attacks is it possible to implement using JavaScript?
2. The ability to secure a Web Client against JavaScript attacks.
3. Is it possible to use JavaScript as part of a Trojan horse attack?
4. Can JavaScript be used for Cross-Site scripting attacks?





Complete Name of School (University), City (State), Country, Name of Professor, and Course Number (Link to Course):

I'd be grateful if someone could help me with it.

Thanks.

NAME
JavaScript::Packer - Perl version of Dean Edwards' Packer.js VERSION
Version 1.006003 DESCRIPTION
A JavaScript Compressor This module is an adaptation of Dean Edwards' Packer.js. Additional information: http://dean.edwards.name/packer/ SYNOPSIS
use JavaScript::Packer; my $packer = JavaScript::Packer->init(); $packer->minify( $javascript, $opts ); To return a scalar without changing the input simply use (e.g. example 2): my $ret = $packer->minify( $javascript, $opts ); For backward compatibility it is still possible to call 'minify' as a function: JavaScript::Packer::minify( $javascript, $opts ); The first argument must be a scalarref of javascript-code. Second argument must be a hashref of options. Possible options are: compress Defines compression level. Possible values are 'clean', 'shrink', 'obfuscate' and 'best'. Default value is 'clean'. 'best' uses 'shrink' or 'obfuscate' depending on which result is shorter. This is recommended because especially when compressing short scripts the result will exceed the input if compression level is 'obfuscate'. copyright You can add a copyright notice at the top of the script. remove_copyright If there is a copyright notice in a comment it will only be removed if this option is set to a true value. Otherwise the first comment that contains the word "copyright" will be added at the top of the packed script. A copyright comment will be overwritten by a copyright notice defined with the copyright option. no_compress_comment If not set to a true value it is allowed to set a JavaScript comment that prevents the input being packed or defines a compression level. /* JavaScript::Packer _no_compress_ */ /* JavaScript::Packer shrink */ EXAMPLES
Example 1 Common usage. #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use JavaScript::Packer; my $packer = JavaScript::Packer->init(); open( UNCOMPRESSED, 'uncompressed.js' ); open( COMPRESSED, '>compressed.js' ); my $js = join( '', <UNCOMPRESSED> ); $packer->minify( $js, { compress => 'best' } ); print COMPRESSED $js; close(UNCOMPRESSED); close(COMPRESSED); Example 2 A scalar is requested by the context. The input will remain unchanged. #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use JavaScript::Packer; my $packer = JavaScript::Packer->init(); open( UNCOMPRESSED, 'uncompressed.js' ); open( COMPRESSED, '>compressed.js' ); my $uncompressed = join( '', <UNCOMPRESSED> ); my $compressed = $packer->minify( $uncompressed, { compress => 'best' } ); print COMPRESSED $compressed; close(UNCOMPRESSED); close(COMPRESSED); AUTHOR
