Unearth the Crucial Weaknesses in Your Thick Client Application

Pentesting Requirement
Conducting a thorough penetration test (pentest) is crucial for assessing the security of thick client applications. Automated scanning methods are insufficient for this task, as it requires in-depth analysis of both local and server-side processing.
Connectivity Dynamics
Unlike web applications, thick client applications function independently of internet connectivity. However, they switch to "client" mode when online, allowing interaction with servers.
File Vulnerability
A significant vulnerability of thick client applications is their capability to receive files from servers, even those not stored locally. This dynamic behavior makes them enticing targets for attackers due to their inherent volatility.
