Not being an expert on security, I have the following question:
Is it possible to re-write the compiler and browser/interpreter so that it
doesn't do the failsafes, thus allowing me to access another applet's private
data? Couldn't I then link in some byte code that accesses material on the
server-side and download that material for myself?
If not, what keeps me from doing that? Is there any protection against someone
doing this (besides making sure that httpd can't get to anything important)?
