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):
Bharathiyar University , Coimbatore

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

Thanks.

SYNOPSIS

       rhino-debugger [options] script_filename_or_url [script_arguments]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the rhino-debugger command.  This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the origi-
       nal program does not have a manual page. It is written according to the html documentation.

       rhino-debugger is a start script for the rhino JavaScript debugger. The Rhino JavaScript debugger is a GUI that allows debugging of  inter-
       preted  JavaScript  scripts  run  in  Rhino. Note that this debugger will not work with JavaScript scripts run in the mozilla browser since
       Rhino is not the engine used in such environments.

OPTIONS

       -e script_source
	      Executes script_source as a JavaScript script.

       -f script_filename_or_url
	      Reads script_filename_or_url content and execute it as a JavaScript script.

       -opt, -O optLevel
	      Optimizes at level optLevel, which must be an integer between 0 and 9.

       -version versionNumber
	      Specifies the language version to compile with. The string versionNumber must be one of 100, 110, 120, 130, or 140.  See	JavaScript
	      Language Versions for more information on language versions.

       -strict
	      Enable strict mode.
