Thick Client
A thick client, also known as a fat client or rich client, is a type of software application that is designed to run on a client's computer, rather than on a remote server. Thick clients are typically large, complex programs that perform many functions locally, and require significant resources and processing power on the client side.
Thick client pentesting involves both local and server-side processing and often uses proprietary protocols for communication.
ARCHITECTURE OF THICK CLIENT
Two-Tier Architecture
In two-tier architecture, the thick client application implements client-to-server communication. The application is installed on the client computer and, in order to work, will need to communicate with a database server.
Three-Tier Architecture
In three-tier architecture, the client communicates with an application server, which in turn talks to the database in a manner similar to a regular web application. The most common communication method in these applications may be carried out using HTTP/HTTPS. Three-tier architecture has a security advantage over two-tier architecture because it prevents the end-user from communicating directly with the database server.
