Sudden surge is ASP sessions open

Has anyone seen inexplicable sudden rises in the number of
sessions open? About 2-3 times a day, the session count
(on perfmon) jumps by about 50, and this may happen
repeatedly over a short space of time - taking the total
session count to 1000+.
What could be causing this? Could it be some sort of
attack? Could it be some sort of loop? (It's a new
phenomenon for us.)

Thanks

So, when you go from 950 to 1000, this surprises you? Is that what's
happening? That doesn't sound odd, and if it's an attack, it sure is a weak
one!

Our system, for online learning, is for a small community
of users. Over the past three years, the sessions count
has always remained between about 15 and 70 (maximum).
What we are seeing now is a rise on session count (in
blocks of roughly 50) to somewhere between 750-1,800 over
the space of just a few minutes.

Hi... I'm trying my hardest to understand fully how sessions work and how best to use them.

Hi everybody, I am making a small site. This site uses sessions and I need to store pictures for each session. I solved this problem thanks to the session_set_save_handler() function. Sessions have their own folder where all files are stored. It works quite well for the open, read and write processes. You can find how I changed the sessions management. But I don't know what to do at the end of a session. I know that I have to make...

Am I right in assuming that when I connect from one browser, using several tabs to a database produced in mysql/php/apache only uses one session for all tabs? I have been loosing records from my database and my best guess is that each tab is not a separate session, therefore the session variables are shared by all tabs and unfortunately this plays havoc when I try to update my database using the forms I have created. Is there anyway to...

I also get the same if I embed a webbrowser control into a windows application. Any ideas? Thanks Lloyd Sheen
