只翻译了部分关键位置方便阅读、查找!!
Nginx is a lightweight, high performance web server/reverse proxy and e-mail (IMAP/POP3) proxy. It runs on UNIX, GNU/Linux, BSD variants, Mac OS X, Solaris, and Microsoft Windows. According to Netcraft, 6% of all domains on the Internet use nginx webserver. Nginx is one of a handful of servers written to address the C10K problem. Unlike traditional servers, Nginx doesn't rely on threads to handle requests. Instead it uses a much more scalable event-driven (asynchronous) architecture. Nginx powers several high traffic web sites, such as WordPress, Hulu, Github, and SourceForge. This page collects hints how to improve the security of nginx web servers running on Linux or UNIX like operating systems.

默认配置文件及侦听端口(默认安装是指安装时指定参数--prefix=/usr/local/nginx)

  • /usr/local/nginx/conf/ - nginx服务器主配置文件所在目录,主要配置文件nginx.conf
  • /usr/local/nginx/html/ - 默认web目录.
  • /usr/local/nginx/logs/ - 默认日志存放目录.
  • Nginx HTTP default port : TCP 80 HTTP侦听端口
  • Nginx HTTPS default port : TCP 443 HTTPS侦听端口

配置文件测试命令:
# /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -t
正常输出:

the configuration file /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf syntax is ok
configuration file /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf test is successful

To load config changes, type:
# /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -s reload
To stop server, type:
# /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -s stop

#1: 开启selinux

Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) 是一种基于内核的安全访问控制机制. 详细介绍见: .

Do Boolean Lockdown

Run the getsebool -a command and lockdown system:

getsebool -a | less
getsebool -a | grep off
getsebool -a | grep o

(译者注:要启用selinux,可直接修改配置文件/etc/sysconfig/selinux.其他selinux应用见:http://blog.chinaunix.net/u3/93267/showart.php?id=2024190

#2: 使用mount参数控制web目录最小权限

Server all your webpages / html / php files via separate partitions. For example, create a partition called /dev/sda5 and mount at the /nginx. Make sure /nginx is mounted with noexec, nodev and nosetuid permissions. Here is my /etc/fstab entry for mounting /nginx:

LABEL=/nginx     /nginx          ext3   defaults,nosuid,noexec,nodev 1 2

Note you need to create a new partition using commands.

#3: 内核加固

You can control and configure Linux kernel and networking settings via /etc/sysctl.conf.

#4: 移除不需要的Nginx模块

视web服务器实际的应用需要,最小化安装模块的数量,不需要的模块不安装. 例如不需要SSI 和 autoindex 模块,可在安装是加如下参数:
# ./configure --without-http_autoindex_module --without-http_ssi_module
# make
# make install

Type the following command to see which modules can be turn on or off while compiling nginx server:
# ./configure --help | less
Disable nginx modules that you don't need.

(Optional) Change Nginx Version Header

Edit src/http/ngx_http_header_filter_module.c, enter:
# vi +48 src/http/ngx_http_header_filter_module.c
Find line

 
static char ngx_http_server_string[] = "Server: nginx" CRLF;
static char ngx_http_server_full_string[] = "Server: " NGINX_VER CRLF;
 

Change them as follows:

 
static char ngx_http_server_string[] = "Server: Ninja Web Server" CRLF;
static char ngx_http_server_full_string[] = "Server: Ninja Web Server" CRLF;
 

Save and close the file. Now, you can compile the server. Add the following in nginx.conf to turn off nginx version number displayed on all auto generated error pages:

server_tokens off   ##在错误页面中不显示版本号

#5: Use mod_security (only for backend Apache servers)

mod_security 能为后端Apache服务提供应用层防护. 安装mod_security可以防止一部分注入式攻击 .

#6: 安装SELinux策略加固Nginx Web服务器

By default SELinux will not protect the nginx web server. However, you can install and compile protection as follows. First, install required SELinux compile time support:
# yum -y install selinux-policy-targeted selinux-policy-devel
Download targeted SELinux policies to harden the nginx webserver on Linux servers from the page:
# cd /opt
# wget ''

Untar the same:
# tar -zxvf se-ngix_1_0_10.tar.gz
Compile the same
# cd se-ngix_1_0_10/nginx
# make

Sample outputs:

Compiling targeted nginx module
/usr/bin/checkmodule:  loading policy configuration from tmp/nginx.tmp
/usr/bin/checkmodule:  policy configuration loaded
/usr/bin/checkmodule:  writing binary representation (version 6) to tmp/nginx.mod
Creating targeted nginx.pp policy package
rm tmp/nginx.mod.fc tmp/nginx.mod

Install the resulting nginx.pp SELinux module:
# /usr/sbin/semodule -i nginx.pp

#7: 使用严格的Iptable策略

The following firewall script blocks everything and only allows:

  • Incoming HTTP (TCP port 80) requests
  • Incoming ICMP ping requests
  • Outgoing ntp (port 123) requests
  • Outgoing smtp (TCP port 25) requests

#8: 防止缓冲区溢出攻击

编辑nginx.conf设置客户端缓冲区大小.
# vi /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf
Edit and set the buffer size limitations for all clients as follows:

 
 ## Start: Size Limits & Buffer Overflows ##
  client_body_buffer_size  1K;
  client_header_buffer_size 1k;
  client_max_body_size 1k;
  large_client_header_buffers 2 1k;
 ## END: Size Limits & Buffer Overflows ##
 

Where,

  1. client_body_buffer_size 1k - (default is 8k or 16k) The directive specifies the client request body buffer size.
  2. client_header_buffer_size 1k - Directive sets the headerbuffer size for the request header from client. For the overwhelming majority of requests a buffer size of 1K is sufficient. Increase this if you have a custom header or a large cookie sent from the client (e.g., wap client).
  3. client_max_body_size 1k- Directive assigns the maximum accepted body size of client request, indicated by the line Content-Length in the header of request. If size is greater the given one, then the client gets the error "Request Entity Too Large" (413). Increase this when you are getting file uploads via the POST method.
  4. large_client_header_buffers 2 1k - Directive assigns the maximum number and size of buffers for large headers to read from client request. By default the size of one buffer is equal to the size of page, depending on platform this either 4K or 8K, if at the end of working request connection converts to state keep-alive, then these buffers are freed. 2x1k will accept 2kB data URI. This will also help combat bad bots and DoS attacks.

设置timeout参数改善服务器性能:

 
 ## Start: Timeouts ##
  client_body_timeout   10;
  client_header_timeout 10;
  keepalive_timeout     5 5;
  send_timeout          10;
## End: Timeouts ##
 
  1. client_body_timeout 10; - Directive sets the read timeout for the request body from client. The timeout is set only if a body is not get in one readstep. If after this time the client send nothing, nginx returns error "Request time out" (408). The default is 60.
  2. client_header_timeout 10; - Directive assigns timeout with reading of the title of the request of client. The timeout is set only if a header is not get in one readstep. If after this time the client send nothing, nginx returns error "Request time out" (408).
  3. keepalive_timeout 5 5; - The first parameter assigns the timeout for keep-alive connections with the client. The server will close connections after this time. The optional second parameter assigns the time value in the header Keep-Alive: timeout=time of the response. This header can convince some browsers to close the connection, so that the server does not have to. Without this parameter, nginx does not send a Keep-Alive header (though this is not what makes a connection "keep-alive").
  4. send_timeout 10; - Directive assigns response timeout to client. Timeout is established not on entire transfer of answer, but only between two operations of reading, if after this time client will take nothing, then nginx is shutting down the connection.

#9: 限制并发连接数

使用NginxHttpLimitZone 模块限制每个IP的并发连接数量. nginx.conf:

 
### Directive describes the zone, in which the session states are stored i.e. store in slimits. ###
### 1m can handle 32000 sessions with 32 bytes/session, set to 5m x 32000 session ###
       limit_zone slimits $binary_remote_addr 5m;
 
### Control maximum number of simultaneous connections for one session i.e. ###
### restricts the amount of connections from a single ip address ###
        limit_conn slimits 5;
 

The above will limits remote clients to no more than 5 concurrently "open" connections per remote ip address.

#10: 只允许访问部分域名

If bot is just making random server scan for all domains, just deny it. You must only allow configured virtual domain or reverse proxy requests. You don't want to display request using an IP address:

## Only requests to our Host are allowed i.e. nixcraft.in, images.nixcraft.in and 
      if ($host !~ ^(nixcraft.in||images.nixcraft.in)$ ) {
         return 444;
      }
##

#11: 限制HTTP协议中可使用的Method

GET and POST are the most common methods on the Internet. Web server methods are defined in . If a web server does not require the implementation of all available methods, they should be disabled. The following will filter and only allow GET, HEAD and POST methods:

## Only allow these request methods ##
     if ($request_method !~ ^(GET|HEAD|POST)$ ) {
         return 444;
     }
## Do not accept DELETE, SEARCH and other methods ##

More About HTTP Methods

  • The GET method is used to request document such as
  • The HEAD method is identical to GET except that the server MUST NOT return a message-body in the response.
  • The POST method may involve anything, like storing or updating data, or ordering a product, or sending E-mail by submitting the form. This is usually processed using the server side scripting such as PHP, PERL, Python and so on. You must use this if you want to upload files and process forms on server.

#12: 拒绝某些非法用户

You can easily block user-agents i.e. scanners, bots, and spammers who may be abusing your server.

## Block download agents ##
     if ($http_user_agent ~* LWP::Simple|BBBike|wget) {
            return 403;
     }
##

Block robots called msnbot and scrapbot:

## Block some robots ##
     if ($http_user_agent ~* msnbot|scrapbot) {
            return 403;
     }

#12: 防止成为垃圾中转站

Referer spam is dengerouns. It can harm your SEO ranking via web-logs (if published) as referer field refer to their spammy site. You can block access to referer spammers with these lines.

## Deny certain Referers ###
     if ( $http_referer ~* (babes|forsale|girl|jewelry|love|nudit|organic|poker|porn|sex|teen) )
     {
         # return 404;
         return 403;
     }
##

#13: 图片防盗链

Image or HTML hotlinking means someone makes a link to your site to one of your images, but displays it on their own site. The end result you will end up paying for bandwidth bills and make the content look like part of the hijacker's site. This is usually done on forums and blogs. I strongly suggest you block and stop image hotlinking at your server level itself.

# Stop deep linking or hot linking
location /images/ {
  valid_referers none blocked  example.com;
   if ($invalid_referer) {
     return   403;
   }
}

Example: Rewrite And Display Image

Another example with link to banned image:

valid_referers blocked  example.com;
 if ($invalid_referer) {
  rewrite ^/images/uploads.*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png)$  last
 }

  • HowTo: to block image hotlinking. This is useful if you want to block tons of domains.

#14: Directory Restrictions

You can set access control for a specified directory. All web directories should be configured on a case-by-case basis, allowing access only where needed.

Limiting Access By Ip Address

You can limit access to directory to /docs/ directory:

location /docs/ {
  ## block one workstation
  deny    192.168.1.1;

  ## allow anyone in 192.168.1.0/24
  allow   192.168.1.0/24;

  ## drop rest of the world
  deny    all;
}

Password Protect The Directory

First create the password file and add a user called vivek:
# mkdir /usr/local/nginx/conf/.htpasswd/
# htpasswd -c /usr/local/nginx/conf/.htpasswd/passwd vivek

Edit nginx.conf and protect the required directories as follows:

### Password Protect /personal-images/ and /delta/ directories ###
location ~ /(personal-images/.*|delta/.*) {
  auth_basic  "Restricted";
  auth_basic_user_file   /usr/local/nginx/conf/.htpasswd/passwd;
}

Once a password file has been generated, subsequent users can be added with the following command:
# htpasswd -s /usr/local/nginx/conf/.htpasswd/passwd userName

#15: Nginx SSL Configuration

HTTP is a plain text protocol and it is open to passive monitoring. You should use SSL to to encrypt your content for users.

Create an SSL Certificate

Type the following commands:
# cd /usr/local/nginx/conf
# openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024
# openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
# cp server.key server.key.org
# openssl rsa -in server.key.org -out server.key
# openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt

Edit nginx.conf and update it as follows:

server {
    server_name example.com;
    listen 443;
    ssl on;
    ssl_certificate /usr/local/nginx/conf/server.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /usr/local/nginx/conf/server.key;
    access_log /usr/local/nginx/logs/ssl.access.log;
    error_log /usr/local/nginx/logs/ssl.error.log;
}

Restart the nginx:
# /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -s reload

#16: Nginx And PHP Security Tips

PHP is one of the popular server side scripting language. Edit /etc/php.ini as follows:

 
# Disallow dangerous functions
disable_functions = phpinfo, system, mail, exec
 
## Try to limit resources  ##
 
# Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
max_execution_time = 30
 
# Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
max_input_time = 60
 
# Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)
memory_limit = 8M
 
# Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
post_max_size = 8M
 
# Whether to allow HTTP file uploads.
file_uploads = Off
 
# Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 2M
 
# Do not expose PHP error messages to external users
display_errors = Off
 
# Turn on safe mode

# Do not register globals for input data
register_globals = Off
 
# Minimize allowable PHP post size
post_max_size = 1K
 
# Ensure PHP redirects appropriately
cgi.force_redirect = 0
 
# Disallow uploading unless necessary
file_uploads = Off
 
# Enable SQL safe mode
sql.safe_mode = On
 
# Avoid Opening remote files
allow_url_fopen = Off

#17: Run Nginx In A Chroot Jail (Containers) If Possible

Putting nginx in a chroot jail minimizes the damage done by a potential break-in by isolating the web server to a small section of the filesystem. You can't use traditional chroot kind of setup with nginx. However, you can use , , or virtualization which uses the concept of containers.

#18: Limits Connections Per IP At The Firewall Level

A webserver must keep an eye on connections and limit connections per second. This is serving 101. Both pf and iptables can throttle end users before accessing your nginx server.

Linux Iptables: Throttle Nginx Connections Per Second

The following example connections if IP make more than 15 connection attempts to port 80 within 60 seconds:

 
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -i eth0 -m state --state NEW -m recent --set
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -i eth0 -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 60  --hitcount 15 -j DROP
service iptables save
 

BSD PF: Throttle Nginx Connections Per Second

Edit your and update it as follows. The following will limits the maximum number of connections per source to 100. 15/5 specifies the number of connections per second or span of seconds i.e. rate limit the number of connections to 15 in a 5 second span. If anyone breaks our rules add them to our abusive_ips table and block them for making any further connections. Finally, flush keyword kills all states created by the matching rule which originate from the host which exceeds these limits.

block in quick from 
pass in on $ext_if proto tcp to $webserver_ip port www flags S/SA keep state (max-src-conn 100, max-src-conn-rate 15/5, overload  flush)

Please adjust all values as per your requirements and traffic (browsers may open multiple connections to your site). See also:

#19: Configure Operating System to Protect Web Server

Turn on SELinux as described above. Set correct permissions on /nginx document root. The nginx runs as a user named nginx. However, the files in the DocumentRoot (/nginx or /usr/local/nginx/html) should not be owned or writable by that user. To find files with wrong permissions, use:
# find /nginx -user nginx
# find /usr/local/nginx/html -user nginx

Make sure you change file ownership to root or other user. A typical set of permission /usr/local/nginx/html/
# ls -l /usr/local/nginx/html/
Sample outputs:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 925 Jan  3 00:50 error4xx.html
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  52 Jan  3 10:00 error5xx.html
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 134 Jan  3 00:52 index.html

You must delete unwated backup files created by vi or other text editor:
# find /nginx -name '.?*' -not -name .ht* -or -name '*~' -or -name '*.bak*' -or -name '*.old*'
# find /usr/local/nginx/html/ -name '.?*' -not -name .ht* -or -name '*~' -or -name '*.bak*' -or -name '*.old*'

Pass -delete option to find command and it will get rid of those files too.

#20: Restrict Outgoing Nginx Connections

The crackers will download file locally on your server using tools such as wget. Use iptables to block outgoing connections from nginx user. The to match various characteristics of the packet creator, for locally generated packets. It is only valid in the OUTPUT chain. In this example, allow vivek user to connect outside using port 80 (useful for RHN access or to grab CentOS updates via repos):

/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -m owner --uid-owner vivek -p tcp --dport 80 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED  -j ACCEPT

Add above rule to your iptables based shell script. Do not allow nginx web server user to connect outside.

Bounce Tip: Watching Your Logs & Auditing

Check the Log files. They will give you some understanding of what attacks is thrown against the server and allow you to check if the necessary level of security is present or not.
# grep "/login.php??" /usr/local/nginx/logs/access_log
# grep "...etc/passwd" /usr/local/nginx/logs/access_log
# egrep -i "denied|error|warn" /usr/local/nginx/logs/error_log

The auditd service is provided for system auditing. Turn it on to SELinux events, authetication events, file modifications, account modification and so on. As usual disable all services and follow our "Linux Server Hardening" security tips.

Conclusion

Your nginx server is now properly harden and ready to server webpages. However, you should be consulted further resources for your web applications security needs. For example, wordpress or any other third party apps has its own security requirements.
