Although Java initially was hailed in the mid-1990s as a way to run client-side applets, the platform instead became known for its server-side capabilities.

As i am a beginner in java & i need this applet badly for a Power Grid presentation in my college I will really appreciate if anybody could help me out with this.

Specifically, the hacked page will simply abuse built-in Java functionality to ask the visitor to run a malicious Java applet.

Java’s rapid rise to fame 20 years ago began with a tumbling duke applet running in the HotJava browser, long before Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome were released.
