Is client-side or server side more secure?
Server Side Only: This one is more secure than Client-only by a long shot, but cuts back on user friendliness. They have to send their form to the server, have it validated and receive the error page back saying a particular field was invalid.
Why is client-side language not enough?
Client-side validation is not enough because its scope of action is very restrict. The validation is performed in the browser user-interface only. A web server “listens” to and receives an HTTP request containing data from the browser, and then process it. A malicious user can send malicious HTTP requests by many ways.
What is a client-side vulnerability?
A client-side vulnerability often takes the form of unpatched software on a desktop or laptop. Depending on the nature of the vulnerable application, an attacker could exploit it via a specially-crafted email attachment or by convincing the user to visit a malicious Web site. Web browsers are common targets.

Which is more vulnerable SMBv1 server or client?
I assume Microsoft separated the ability to disable SMBv1 between client and server on recent Win10 installs because a device accepting SMBv1 connections as a server is inherently more vulnerable than using SMBv1 from the client side. Is this assumption correct??
How is a client side attack different from a server side attack?
Whereas server-side attacks seek to compromise and breach the data and applications that are present on a server, client-side attacks specifically target the software on the desktop itself. Applications such as web browsers, media players, email clients, office suites, and other such applications are all prime targets for an attacker.
Who are the authors of server side attack?
The server-side environment represents a tremendous level of complexity and other issues that exceed the scope of this book and therefore will only be covered as they relate to client-side attacks. Eric Conrad, Joshua Feldman, in CISSP Study Guide (Third Edition), 2016
