Reino: Time and State

La computación distribuida trata sobre el tiempo y el estado. Es decir, para que más de un componente se comunique, debe compartir el estado, y todo esto requiere tiempo.

La mayoría de programadores antropomorfizan su trabajo. Piensan en un único puesto de control que lleva a cabo todo el programa de igual forma que harían ellos si tuviesen que realizar la tarea ellos mismos. Sin embargo, los equipos modernos cambian entre tareas con gran rapidez y, en una CPU múltiple con varios núcleos, o en los sistemas distribuidos, dos eventos pueden llevarse a cabo a la vez exactamente. Estos defectos hacen que sea urgente que se unan posturas entre el modelo de los programadores sobre cómo un programa se ejecuta y lo que sucede en la realidad. Dichos defectos están relacionados con interacciones inesperadas entre los puestos, los procesos, el tiempo y la información. Estas interacciones se producen a través del estado compartido: semáforos, variables, el sistema de archivos y, básicamente, cualquier cosa que pueda guardar información.

J2EE Bad Practices: Insufficient Session Expiration

Java/JSP

Abstract

El método configura una sesión que nunca expira.

Explanation

Cuanto más tiempo permanezca una sesión abierta, más oportunidades tendrá un atacante para poner en peligros las cuentas de los usuarios. Durante el tiempo que una sesión permanece activa, un usuario malintencionado puede ser capaz de forzar el robo de la contraseña de un usuario, descifrar la clave de cifrado inalámbrico de un usuario o dirigir una sesión desde un explorador abierto. Los tiempos de expiración de sesión largos pueden, además, impedir que se libere memoria y que se produzca al final una denegación de servicio si se crea un número de sesiones suficientemente largo.

Ejemplo 1: el código del siguiente ejemplo establece un valor negativo para el intervalo inactivo máximo producido en una sesión que permanece activa indefinidamente.


...
HttpSession sesssion = request.getSession(true);
sesssion.setMaxInactiveInterval(-1);
...
