What you'll do
Whenever there is concurrent access to a shared resource, there is the potential for race conditions.
- This shared resource could be an object that is accessed by multiple threads in a process, or it could be a shared database table, or even the file system.
- In this lab, we will explore these last two possibilities.
- We will look at attacks on race conditions and then cover how to fix them.
- ⏱ About 60 minutes
