Race conditions may occur when a process is critically or unexpectedly dependent on the sequence or timings of other events. In a web application environment, where multiple requests can be processed at a given time, developers may leave concurrency to be handled by the framework, server, or programming language.
- Send request to turbo intruder
- Use this python code as a payload of the turbo intruder

- Now set the external HTTP header x-request: %s -
