NGINX’e Mod_Security Kurulumu

Sizlere Layer 7 tarafında web sunucusu üzerinde bir nebze çözüm sunabilecek bir eklenti olan mod_security nasıl kurulacağını ve yapılandırılacağını anlatacağım. Bu makale’de yapacağınız işlemler sayesinde botların otomatik olarak gerçekleştirdiği taramaları engelleyebilir, saldırı yüzeyinizi daraltabilirsiniz.

Bu eklenti %100 güvenlik sağlamamakla birlikte bilinen atakların %70 kadarını engeller. L7’de tam güvenlik sağlamak istiyorsanız, kendi güvenlik kurallarınızı geliştirmeniz gerekir.

UYARI: Kullanılan bu eklenti web sitenizde ve/veya uygulamalarınızda istenmeyen hatalara sebep olabilir. Lütfen dikkatli kullanınız.

Nasıl Kurulur?

Debian’da uygulamayı derlemek ve ardından kurabilmek amacıyla öncelikli olarak gerekli bağımlılıkları kuralım.

apt install -y apt-utils autoconf automake build-essential git libcurl4-openssl-dev libgeoip-dev liblmdb-dev libpcre++-dev libtool libxml2-dev libyajl-dev pkgconf wget zlib1g-dev git

Ardından remi git reposundan gerekli olan dosyaları indiriyoruz. Gerekli derleme işlemlerine başlıyoruz ve modülü ortaya çıkartıyoruz.

git clone --depth 1 -b v3/master --single-branch https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity && cd ModSecurity
git submodule init
git submodule update
./build.sh
./configure
make
make install

Bu işlem yaklaşık olarak 15-30 dakika arasında sisteminizin özelliklerine göre süreceğini unutmayın, Beklemede kalın.

Ardından NGINX üzerinde modüle eklemesi yapılacak ve connector kurulumu gerçekleştirilecek.

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity-nginx.git
wget https://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.19.1.tar.gz
tar zxvf nginx-1.19.1.tar.gz
cd nginx-1.19.1
./configure --with-compat --add-dynamic-module=../ModSecurity-nginx
make modules
cp objs/ngx_http_modsecurity_module.so /etc/nginx/modules

Sıra geldi Connector Modülünü nginx kardeşimize eklemeye /etc/nginx/nginx.conf içerisine en üst satıra aşağıdakini ekleyin.

load_module modules/ngx_http_modsecurity_module.so;

Ardından NGINX‘i yeniden başlatın, artık mod_security kullanıma hazır.

Mod Security Yapılandırma

Sisteme hali hazırda kurduğumuz, Mod Security için yapılandırmamızı yapmamız ve kuralları tanımlamamız gerekiyor. mkdir /etc/nginx/modsec komutunu verip klasörü oluşturun içerisine modsecurity.conf ekleyin.

# Did we see anything that might be a boundary?
#
# Here is a short description about the ModSecurity Multipart parser: the
# parser returns with value 0, if all "boundary-like" line matches with
# the boundary string which given in MIME header. In any other cases it returns
# with different value, eg. 1 or 2.
#
# The RFC 1341 descript the multipart content-type and its syntax must contains
# only three mandatory lines (above the content):
# * Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=BOUNDARY_STRING
# * --BOUNDARY_STRING
# * --BOUNDARY_STRING--
#
# First line indicates, that this is a multipart content, second shows that
# here starts a part of the multipart content, third shows the end of content.
#
# If there are any other lines, which starts with "--", then it should be
# another boundary id - or not.
#
# After 3.0.3, there are two kinds of types of boundary errors: strict and permissive.
#
# If multipart content contains the three necessary lines with correct order, but
# there are one or more lines with "--", then parser returns with value 2 (non-zero).
#
# If some of the necessary lines (usually the start or end) misses, or the order
# is wrong, then parser returns with value 1 (also a non-zero).
#
# You can choose, which one is what you need. The example below contains the
# 'strict' mode, which means if there are any lines with start of "--", then
# ModSecurity blocked the content. But the next, commented example contains
# the 'permissive' mode, then you check only if the necessary lines exists in
# correct order. Whit this, you can enable to upload PEM files (eg "----BEGIN.."),
# or other text files, which contains eg. HTTP headers.
#
# The difference is only the operator - in strict mode (first) the content blocked
# in case of any non-zero value. In permissive mode (second, commented) the
# content blocked only if the value is explicit 1. If it 0 or 2, the content will
# allowed.

# See #1747 and #1924 for further information on the possible values for
# MULTIPART_UNMATCHED_BOUNDARY.

# -- Response body handling --------------------------------------------------
# Allow ModSecurity to access response bodies. 
# You should have this directive enabled in order to identify errors
# and data leakage issues.
# 
# Do keep in mind that enabling this directive does increases both
# memory consumption and response latency.
#
SecResponseBodyAccess On
# Which response MIME types do you want to inspect? You should adjust the
# configuration below to catch documents but avoid static files
# (e.g., images and archives).
#
SecResponseBodyMimeType text/plain text/html text/xml
# Buffer response bodies of up to 512 KB in length.
SecResponseBodyLimit 524288
# What happens when we encounter a response body larger than the configured
# limit? By default, we process what we have and let the rest through.
# That's somewhat less secure, but does not break any legitimate pages.
#
SecResponseBodyLimitAction ProcessPartial
# -- Filesystem configuration ------------------------------------------------
# The location where ModSecurity stores temporary files (for example, when
# it needs to handle a file upload that is larger than the configured limit).
# 
# This default setting is chosen due to all systems have /tmp available however, 
# this is less than ideal. It is recommended that you specify a location that's private.
#
SecTmpDir /tmp/
# The location where ModSecurity will keep its persistent data.  This default setting 
# is chosen due to all systems have /tmp available however, it
# too should be updated to a place that other users can't access.
#
SecDataDir /tmp/
# -- File uploads handling configuration -------------------------------------
# The location where ModSecurity stores intercepted uploaded files. This
# location must be private to ModSecurity. You don't want other users on
# the server to access the files, do you?
#
#SecUploadDir /opt/modsecurity/var/upload/
# By default, only keep the files that were determined to be unusual
# in some way (by an external inspection script). For this to work you
# will also need at least one file inspection rule.
#
#SecUploadKeepFiles RelevantOnly
# Uploaded files are by default created with permissions that do not allow
# any other user to access them. You may need to relax that if you want to
# interface ModSecurity to an external program (e.g., an anti-virus).
#
#SecUploadFileMode 0600
# -- Debug log configuration -------------------------------------------------
# The default debug log configuration is to duplicate the error, warning
# and notice messages from the error log.
#
#SecDebugLog /opt/modsecurity/var/log/debug.log
#SecDebugLogLevel 3
# -- Audit log configuration -------------------------------------------------
# Log the transactions that are marked by a rule, as well as those that
# trigger a server error (determined by a 5xx or 4xx, excluding 404,  
# level response status codes).
#
SecAuditEngine RelevantOnly
SecAuditLogRelevantStatus "^(?:5|4(?!04))"
# Log everything we know about a transaction.
SecAuditLogParts ABIJDEFHZ
# Use a single file for logging. This is much easier to look at, but
# assumes that you will use the audit log only ocassionally.
#
SecAuditLogType Serial
SecAuditLog /var/log/modsec_audit.log
# Specify the path for concurrent audit logging.
#SecAuditLogStorageDir /opt/modsecurity/var/audit/
# -- Miscellaneous -----------------------------------------------------------
# Use the most commonly used application/x-www-form-urlencoded parameter
# separator. There's probably only one application somewhere that uses
# something else so don't expect to change this value.
#
SecArgumentSeparator &
# Settle on version 0 (zero) cookies, as that is what most applications
# use. Using an incorrect cookie version may open your installation to
# evasion attacks (against the rules that examine named cookies).
#
SecCookieFormat 0
# Specify your Unicode Code Point.
# This mapping is used by the t:urlDecodeUni transformation function
# to properly map encoded data to your language. Properly setting
# these directives helps to reduce false positives and negatives.

Ardından hangi alan adınızda çalışmasını istiyorsanız o server bloğuna aşağıdaki tanımlamayı yapın.

modsecurity on;
modsecurity_rules_file /etc/nginx/modsec/main.conf;

Nginx’i yeniden başlattığınızda artık Mod Security tamamen aktif olacak ve güvenlik sorunlarınıza derman olacak.
