This paper discusses sessions and the inherent risks associated with stateful web applications. The reader will first learn the fundamentals of state, cookies, and sessions; then the paper discusses several concerns - cookie theft, exposed session data, session fixation, and session hijacking - along with practices that one can employ to help prevent them. The rumors are true: HTTP is a stateless protocol. This description recognizes the lack of association between any two HTTP requests. Because the protocol does not provide any method that the client can use to identify itself, the server cannot distinguish between clients.
