### SElinux ###
Two important documentations about Selinux can be found here:
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/SecurityEnhanced_Linux/index.html
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/enUS/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Managing_Confined_Services/index.html
# You can view current status of SELinux mode from the command line using these:
system-config-selinux
getenforce # if you get back a 1 selinux is turned on if you get back a 0 its turned off
sestatus
# If it is disabled, enable SELinux using the following command.
setenforce enforcing # changes do not persist through a system reboot
To make changes persistent through a system reboot, edit the SELINUX= line in
/etc/selinux/config for either enforcing, permissive, or disabled. For example:
SELINUX=permissive
# SElinux logs (/var/log/audit/audit.log) #
yum install setroubleshoot
setroubleshootd
sealert -a /var/log/audit/audit.log # if you only have a console available and no X-Window

sealert -b # if you have gui

Access authorization in Apache 2.4

In Apache 2.4 the authorization configuration setup has changed from previous versions. Satisfy,
Order, Deny and Allow have all been deprecated and replaced with new Require directives.
Below weve compiled some examples to guide you through the transition.
If you are upgrading a server using the legacy authorization directives you can make them
work quickly by enabling (it should be activated by default) mod_access_compat in
Apache:
sudo a2enmod access_compat
1. Apache Documentation
The documentation from Apache: Upgrading to 2.4 from 2.2 provides the following basic
examples. The old configuration settings are on the left, and the new ones for Apache 2.4 on the
right:
All requests are denied:
Order deny,allow Deny from allRequire all denied
All requests are allowed:

Order allow,deny Allow from allRequire all granted
Only hosts in the example.org domain are allowed access:

Order Deny,Allow Deny from all Allow from example.orgRequire host example.org
But this only scratches the surface of whats now available.
2. RequireAll and RequireAny

The most interesting new features are the RequireAll, RequireAny and RequireNone
authorization containers. They promise to be both more powerful and more human-readable than
the old syntax.

By default all Require directives are handled as though contained within a

<RequireAny>container directive. In other words, if any of the specified authorization
methods succeed, then authorization is granted.
Here is real world example where a website limits access by requiring a Basic Authentication
login for certain directories:
AuthType Basic AuthName "Password Protected" AuthUserFile
<path_to_your_htpasswd_file> SetEnvIf REQUEST_URI "^/(admin|secure)/"
PROTECTED Deny from all Satisfy any Allow from env=!PROTECTED Require validuserSetEnvIf REQUEST_URI "^/(admin|secure)/" PROTECTED <RequireAny>
<RequireAll> Require not env PROTECTED Require all granted </RequireAll>
<RequireAll> AuthType Basic AuthName "Password Protected" AuthUserFile
<path_to_your_htpasswd_file> Require valid-user </RequireAll> </RequireAny>
In both cases we set an environmental variable PROTECTED when the request is for a file in the
/admin/or /secure/ directories. The syntax for this part hasnt changed. If this variable is set,
then a password will be required for access.
While the old syntax works, its not immediately clear how it works. Basically to get access the
request has to meet (Satisfy) either the Allow or the Require directive.
In the new syntax this is more explicit. The request needs to pass at least one (RequireAny) of
the twoRequireAll container rulesets. The first container grants all users access to nonPROTECTED directories, while the second container requires a valid login.
You can keep nesting containers until all possible options are covered.
But seeing as the outer <RequireAny> is already implied, we should be able to remove it.
Actually we can remove quite a bit now that we know what were doing:
PROTECTED <RequireAll> Require not env PROTECTED </RequireAll> Require validuser
Note that any Require not directives must always be enclosed in a RequireAll directive.
Otherwise you will see an alert logged:
[core:alert] ... negative Require directive has no effect in <RequireAny>
directive
See further down the page a version of this example that does away with the ENV variable
entirely by using an expr condition.
3. Require authorization providers

17
The Require directive comes with a number of build-in authorization providers, including some
already demonstrated above. Different modules provide different methods.
The following are provided by the mod_authz_core module:
all
Replaces Allow from all and Deny from all in the old syntax:
Require all grantedRequire all denied
env
Require env safe_zone<RequireAll> Require not env PROTECTED </RequireAll>
method
This example allows only GET and HEAD requests unless you are logged in:
<RequireAny> Require method GET HEAD Require valid-user </RequireAny>
The <RequireAny> container is not necessary here, but included for clarity:
expr
Require expr %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} != 'BadBot'
The following options are provided by the mod_authz_host module:

local
Require local
ip
<RequireAll> Require ip 192.168.1.0/24 Require not ip 192.168.1.104
</RequireAll>Require ip 2001:db8:1:1::/64
host
<RequireAll> Require host example.org Require not host blocked.example.org
</RequireAll>
4. Working with expressions

After a bit of messing about we were able to further simplify the previous example by removing
theSetEnvIf clause and replacing it with a Require expr regular expression condition.
18

PROTECTED <RequireAll> Require not env PROTECTED </RequireAll> Require validuserAuthType Basic AuthName "Password Protected" AuthUserFile
<path_to_your_htpasswd_file> Require expr %{REQUEST_URI} !~ m#^/(admin|
secure)/# Require valid-user
The tricky part was working out how to include the forward slash / in the regular expression.
The solution is instead of the default format which doesnt allow a forward slash in the match:
Require expr %{REQUEST_URI} !~ /expr/
To use the alternative syntax:

Require expr %{REQUEST_URI} !~ m#expr#
For details on other SERVER variables and comparison operators that can be used see the link
under References below.
5. Granting local access

Another real world example is granting access only to the local network.
In this case were defining the local network as the server itself (localhost), plus the 192.168.1.*
subnet covering 192.168.1.0 192.168.1.255.
<Directory "/path/to/your/website"> Options FollowSymlinks AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny Allow from 127.0.0.0/8 192.168.1 ::1 </Directory><Directory
"/path/to/your/website"> Options FollowSymlinks AllowOverride None Require
local Require ip 192.168.1 </Directory>
The local Requirement matches requests from the local host over IPv4 or IPv6 (so including
127.0.0.1/8 and ::1). We wrap this, along with Require ip 192.168.1, in a RequireAny
authorization container because we want to accept connections that match either condition.
We could also write 192.168.1.0/24 instead of just 192.168.1, but they have the same effect.
If you want to also allow connections from outside the local network, but requiring
authentication, the configuration becomes:
Require local Require ip 192.168.1 Require valid-user </Directory>
So were now granting access from localhost and the local network without authentication, plus
from all other locations, but then requiring authentication.
You can make this more secure by restricting outside access to only recognised locations:
19

Require local Require ip 192.168.1 <RequireAll> Require host example.org
Require not host badhost.example.org Require valid-user </RequireAll>
</Directory>
Now an external connection can only come from *.example.org and only in conjunction with a
valid login. To specify more than one domain or ip address in addition to example.org they will
need to be wrapped in yet another container:
Require local Require ip 192.168.1 <RequireAll> <RequireAny> Require host
example.org example.com Require ip 8.8.8.8 </RequireAny> Require not host
badhost.example.org Require valid-user </RequireAll> </Directory>
For those getting confused, RequireAll means that all the requirements in that container need to
be met, while RequireAny means that only one or more of the contained requirements needs to
be met:
Require (local) OR (ip 192.168.1) OR [ [ (host example.org) OR (host
example.com) OR (ip 8.8.8.8) ] AND (NOT host badhost.example.com) AND (validuser) ]
6. Public file in Private directory

Thank you to Alfredo for this question how to have a password-protected directory (or website)
but allow access to a specific file.
If you have a directory ~/private/ then you can make the entire directory secure by adding
an.htaccess file ~/private/.htaccess with:
AuthType Basic AuthName "Password Required" AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
But what if there is a file ~/private/public.html that you want to make globally accessible?
This wasnt possible in earlier versions of Apache, but can be done now quite simply:
AuthType Basic AuthName "Password Required" AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd
Require expr %{REQUEST_URI} = "/private/public\.html" Require valid-user
How does it work? Remember that there is an explicit <RequireAny> wrapped around the two
Requirestatements, so it reads as: either the request is for the file public.html or require a
password.

AMQ7017 queue manager log not available or corrupted

Problem
20
Your queue manager fails to start with the following error :

AMQ7017 Log not available
Cause
The qm.ini files had been altered and the LogPath entries were removed.
After making the change to qm.ini LogPath, the queue manager failed to start because
S0000001.log was not available. The log file was present and the permissions appeared to be
correct, but it seemed to be corrupted.
Solution
Edit the qm.ini file and specify the correct LogPath.
If the queue manager fails to start and you suspect a corrupted log file, then do the following:
Here are the steps to follow to recover from the damaged log file(s) in
/var/mqm/log/qmgrname/active. The queue manager is referred to as TESTQMGR.
cd /var/mqm/qmgrs
mv TESTQMGR TEST.OLD
NOTE:This will rename the TESTQMGR directory to be TEST.OLD, effectively backing up all
your queues and objects.
dltmqm TESTQMGR
Note: This command may not completely run and it may produce error messages. This is OK. At
the end of this command there are 3 places to check to make sure everything is cleaned up from
TESTQMGR and if it did not then you will need to manually remove
what is left.
There should not be a directory under /var/mqm/qmgrs by the name of TESTQMGR as it should
have been renamed to TEST.OLD.
In /var/mqm/log there should not be a directory name TESTQMGR. If there is a directory left
there, from /var/mqm/log issue the command rm -rf TESTQMGR to remove the old logs.
In /var/mqm there is a file called mqs.ini. Within file mqs.ini there will be QueueManager:
stanzas for each queue manager defined on this box. There should no longer be a stanza referring
to TESTQMGR. If there is a stanza for TESTQMGR, remove it; the whole
stanza (should be 4 lines.)
crtmqm TESTQMGR
cd /var/mqm/qmgrs
cp TESTQMGR/amqalchk.fil TEST.OLD
(This is to copy the new check point file over to the backup directory where you are saving our
old queue manager files.)
21
rm -rf TESTQMGR
(This will remove the new qmgr files you just created so you can replace them with the files
from the old queue manager that you had saved.)
mv TEST.OLD TESTQMGR
(This is where you just restored the old definitions. At this point you should have a new queue
manager created with new logs but you should have our old queues and channels still there.)
strmqm TESTQMGR
(Start up the queue manager. Everything should be back to normal except there will be no
attempt to recover any in-flight UOWs because you have nothing in the logs.)
another path ?
Failure recovery and the queue manager

After a full system failure and recovery, the queue manager might fail to start, displaying this
message:
AMQ7017 Log not available.
This typically indicates that the log file is missing or damaged, or that the log path to the queue
manager is inaccessible.
To remedy the problem, create a dummy queue manager and copy its header log file and
transaction log files over to the actual queue manager. This will allow you to restart the queue
manager.
When start being given AMQ7017 MQ queue manager: Log not available, the following
example
$ strmqm
AMQ7017: Log not available.
For this problem solving process is more complex, as an example to the queue manager QM2
about the recovery process:
1, the backup queue manager QM2 objects
22
# su mqm
$ cd /var/mqm/qmgrs
$ mv QM2 QM2_OLD
2, delete the queue manager QM2
$ dltmqm QM2
MQSeries queue manager deleted.
3, delete directory directory /var/mqm/log under the QM2
$ cd /var/mqm/log
$ rm -rf QM2
4? the file does not ensure /var/mqm/mqs.ini QM2 project, if it is deleted.
$ vi /var/mqm/mqs.ini
AllQueueManagers:
DefaultPrefix=/var/mqm
ClientExitPath:
ExitsDefaultPath=/var/mqm/exits

5? re-create the queue manager QM2
$ crtmqm QM2
MQSeries queue manager created.
Creating or replacing default objects for QM2.
Default objects statistics : 29 created. 0 replaced. 0 failed.
Completing setup.

24
QueueManager:

6? Copy the new check point before the backup file to a directory in QM2_OLD
$ cd /var/mqm/qmgrs
$ cp QM2/amqalchk.fil QM2_OLD
7 Remove the new queue manager object directory /var/mqm/qmgrs/QM2
$ rm -rf QM2
8?the object manager object data backup to restore the directory to the directory QM2
QM2_OLD
$ mv QM2_OLD QM2
9 start the queue manager QM2, problems get.
$ strmqm QM2
MQSeries queue manager QM2 started.

How to setup Pagespeed module in Nginx using rpm or yum

on CentOS 7
How to setup Pagespeed module in Nginx using rpm or yum on CentOS 7
Adding Pagespeed module in Apache is very easy with package manager:
25
sudo yum install at # if you do not already have at installed

sudo rpm -U mod-pagespeed-*.rpm
but if we want to add Pagespeed module in Nginx, first thing we think of is compiling its
source along with the Pagespeed module. What if Nginx is installed in our server from yum or
rpm? The process we need is to repackage RPM and that is what this tutorial will show.
Prepare tools
The following procedures are tested on my Linode server running Centos 7 64-bit Linux
distribution.
First we need to install the necessary tools to repackage RPM:
sudo yum install rpm-build gcc-c++ pcre-devel zlib-devel make unzip
It is recommended to not to use root user in building RPM, so we will create a new user:
useradd -m builder
* The -m is to create home directory
Select the latest version of Nginx RPM source here and download (as of this writing the latest is
nginx-1.8.1-1.el7.ngx.src.rpm):
rpm -Uvh http://nginx.org/packages/centos/7/SRPMS/nginx-1.8.1-1.el7.ngx.src.rpm
Move the Nginx RPM source to the new user created builder home directory:
mv /root/rpmbuild /home/builder/ && chown -R builder. /home/builder/rpmbuild
Pagespeed source
Login as builder and go to RPM source directory:
su builder
cd ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/
Download and extract the latest version of Pagespeed:
wget https://github.com/pagespeed/ngx_pagespeed/archive/release-1.11.33.0-beta.zip
unzip release-1.11.33.0-beta.zip
rm release-1.11.33.0-beta.zip
Inside the extracted Pagespeed source directory, download and extract its required PSOL library:
cd ngx_pagespeed-release-1.11.33.0-beta/
wget https://dl.google.com/dl/page-speed/psol/1.11.33.0.tar.gz
26
tar -zxvf 1.11.33.0.tar.gz

rm 1.11.33.0.tar.gz
Archive both Pagespeed and PSOL as one:
cd ..
tar -zcvf ngx_pagespeed-release-1.11.33.0-beta.tar.gz ngx_pagespeed-release-1.11.33.0-beta/
rm -r ngx_pagespeed-release-1.11.33.0-beta/
cd ~
Enable Pagespeed in Nginx spec
Open and edit nginx.spec file:
vi ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/nginx.spec
Search for Source0: http://nginx.org/download/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz and add above it:
%define pagespeed_version 1.11.33.0-beta
Note: 1.11.33.0-beta is the version of Pagespeed.
Scroll down and search Source10: nginx.suse.logrotate and add under it:
Source11: ngx_pagespeed-release-%{pagespeed_version}.tar.gz
Again scroll down and search %setup -q and add under it:
%{__tar} zxvf %{SOURCE11}
%setup -T -D -a 11
And scroll down and search with-cc-opt=%{optflags} $(pcre-config cflags) \ and add
under it (Note: there are two of these):
add-module=%{_builddir}/%{name}-%{version}/ngx_pagespeed-release-%
{pagespeed_version} \
And save the nginx.spec file.
Build and install the new Nginx with Pagespeed module
Build the Nginx RPM package:
rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/nginx.spec
After the compilation completed you should see output message at the end something like these:
27

+ cd nginx-1.8.1
+ /usr/bin/rm -rf /home/builder/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/nginx-1.8.1-1.el7.centos.ngx.x86_64
+ exit 0
As we can see the Nginx RPM package bundled with Pagespeed is saved in ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/
Login as root in able to install the compiled Nginx RPM:
su
You can use yum or rpm to install it:
yum update /home/builder/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/nginx-1.8.1-1.el7.centos.ngx.x86_64.rpm
or:
rpm -Uvh /home/builder/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/nginx-1.8.1-1.el7.centos.ngx.x86_64.rpm
If the current nginx is higher version than we have compiled (like in my case I have nginx
v1.9.4), execute the following to force install the Nginx RPM we have build:
yum downgrade /home/builder/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/nginx-1.8.11.el7.centos.ngx.x86_64.rpm
or:
rpm -Uvh oldpackage /home/builder/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/nginx-1.8.11.el7.centos.ngx.x86_64.rpm
Make sure it auto-start upon reboot:
chkconfig nginx on
To check if Pagespeed is included in Nginx:
nginx -V
If you dont want to build the RPM in your production server, you may use other machine.
28
In my case, I just build my RPM in my laptop using CentOS 7 64-bit Vagrant box. Just make
sure they have both the same system type (OS and processor).
For PageSpeed Nginx configuration,

How to setup Pagespeed module in Nginx using rpm or yum

on CentOS 7
How to setup Pagespeed module in Nginx using rpm or yum on CentOS 7
Adding Pagespeed module in Apache is very easy with package manager:
sudo yum install at # if you do not already have at installed
sudo rpm -U mod-pagespeed-*.rpm
but if we want to add Pagespeed module in Nginx, first thing we think of is compiling its
source along with the Pagespeed module. What if Nginx is installed in our server from yum or
34
rpm? The process we need is to repackage RPM and that is what this tutorial will show.
Prepare tools
distribution.
First we need to install the necessary tools to repackage RPM:
sudo yum install rpm-build gcc-c++ pcre-devel zlib-devel make unzip
It is recommended to not to use root user in building RPM, so we will create a new user:
useradd -m builder
* The -m is to create home directory
Select the latest version of Nginx RPM source here and download (as of this writing the latest is
nginx-1.8.1-1.el7.ngx.src.rpm):
rpm -Uvh http://nginx.org/packages/centos/7/SRPMS/nginx-1.8.1-1.el7.ngx.src.rpm
Move the Nginx RPM source to the new user created builder home directory:
mv /root/rpmbuild /home/builder/ && chown -R builder. /home/builder/rpmbuild
Pagespeed source
Login as builder and go to RPM source directory:
su builder
cd ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/
Download and extract the latest version of Pagespeed:
wget https://github.com/pagespeed/ngx_pagespeed/archive/release-1.11.33.0-beta.zip
unzip release-1.11.33.0-beta.zip
rm release-1.11.33.0-beta.zip
Inside the extracted Pagespeed source directory, download and extract its required PSOL library:
cd ngx_pagespeed-release-1.11.33.0-beta/
wget https://dl.google.com/dl/page-speed/psol/1.11.33.0.tar.gz
tar -zxvf 1.11.33.0.tar.gz
rm 1.11.33.0.tar.gz
Archive both Pagespeed and PSOL as one:
35
cd ..
tar -zcvf ngx_pagespeed-release-1.11.33.0-beta.tar.gz ngx_pagespeed-release-1.11.33.0-beta/
rm -r ngx_pagespeed-release-1.11.33.0-beta/
cd ~
Enable Pagespeed in Nginx spec
Open and edit nginx.spec file:
vi ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/nginx.spec
Search for Source0: http://nginx.org/download/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz and add above it:
%define pagespeed_version 1.11.33.0-beta
Note: 1.11.33.0-beta is the version of Pagespeed.
Scroll down and search Source10: nginx.suse.logrotate and add under it:
Source11: ngx_pagespeed-release-%{pagespeed_version}.tar.gz
Again scroll down and search %setup -q and add under it:
%{__tar} zxvf %{SOURCE11}
%setup -T -D -a 11
And scroll down and search with-cc-opt=%{optflags} $(pcre-config cflags) \ and add
under it (Note: there are two of these):
add-module=%{_builddir}/%{name}-%{version}/ngx_pagespeed-release-%
{pagespeed_version} \
And save the nginx.spec file.
Build and install the new Nginx with Pagespeed module
Build the Nginx RPM package:
rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/nginx.spec
After the compilation completed you should see output message at the end something like these:
Wrote: /home/builder/rpmbuild/SRPMS/nginx-1.8.1-1.el7.centos.ngx.src.rpm
Wrote: /home/builder/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/nginx-1.8.1-1.el7.centos.ngx.x86_64.rpm
Wrote: /home/builder/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/nginx-debug-1.8.1-1.el7.centos.ngx.x86_64.rpm

Executing(%clean): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.lWzVrm
36
+ umask 022
+ cd /home/builder/rpmbuild/BUILD
+ cd nginx-1.8.1
+ /usr/bin/rm -rf /home/builder/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/nginx-1.8.1-1.el7.centos.ngx.x86_64
+ exit 0
As we can see the Nginx RPM package bundled with Pagespeed is saved in ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/
Login as root in able to install the compiled Nginx RPM:
su
You can use yum or rpm to install it:
yum update /home/builder/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/nginx-1.8.1-1.el7.centos.ngx.x86_64.rpm
or:
rpm -Uvh /home/builder/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/nginx-1.8.1-1.el7.centos.ngx.x86_64.rpm
If the current nginx is higher version than we have compiled (like in my case I have nginx
v1.9.4), execute the following to force install the Nginx RPM we have build:
yum downgrade /home/builder/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/nginx-1.8.11.el7.centos.ngx.x86_64.rpm
or:
rpm -Uvh oldpackage /home/builder/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/nginx-1.8.11.el7.centos.ngx.x86_64.rpm
Make sure it auto-start upon reboot:
chkconfig nginx on
To check if Pagespeed is included in Nginx:
nginx -V
If you dont want to build the RPM in your production server, you may use other machine.
In my case, I just build my RPM in my laptop using CentOS 7 64-bit Vagrant box. Just make
sure they have both the same system type (OS and processor).
For PageSpeed Nginx configuration,

How to setup Memcache on CentOS 7 for Drupal site

How to setup Memcache on CentOS 7 for Drupal site
One way to optimize the authenticated users experience in Drupal site is to use Memcache. It
works between the database and Drupal.
Typically the queries are cached in the database but with Memcache the queries sent from Drupal
to database are intercepted by Memcache and it serves them from RAM and this avoid hits to the
disk or database. We see often that half of the queries are served by Memcache and we are
looking significant improvement in authenticated users hits.
Lets take a look how to setup Memcache on CentOS 7 for Drupal site.
Install the Memcache daemon:
yum -y install memcached
Configure Memcache daemon:
vi /etc/sysconfig/memcached
Change the following:
CACHESIZE=256
OPTIONS=-l 127.0.0.1
CACHESIZE is the RAM you allot to Memcache daemon. Start it:
systemctl start memcached.service
systemctl enable memcached.service
Confirm the Memcache service running status:
memcached-tool 127.0.0.1:11211 stats
Check the remote connectivity:
watch echo stats | nc 127.0.0.1 11211
To integrate PHP and Memcache we need to install php-pecl-memcache:
yum -y install php-pecl-memcache
In your Drupal sites settings.php file, append the following codes:
/**
* Memcache configurations
*/
38
$conf[cache_backends][] = sites/all/modules/memcache/memcache.inc;
$conf[lock_inc] = sites/all/modules/memcache/memcache-lock.inc;
$conf[memcache_stampede_protection] = TRUE;
$conf[cache_default_class] = MemCacheDrupal;
// The cache_form bin must be assigned to non-volatile storage.
$conf[cache_class_cache_form] = DrupalDatabaseCache;
// Dont bootstrap the database when serving pages from the cache.
$conf[page_cache_without_database] = TRUE;
$conf[page_cache_invoke_hooks] = FALSE;
// If this server has multiple Drupal installation
// assign unique key for memcache namespace purposes
$conf[memcache_key_prefix] = www_yoursite_com;
Mitigate DDoS attack with ngx_http_limit_req_module and

fail2ban
Mitigate DDoS attack with ngx_http_limit_req_module and fail2ban
The fail2ban do have comprehensive collection of scripts that scan log files and ban IPs that
match malicious activities.
But we are going to look on how to use ngx_http_limit_req_module logs to ban IPs that shows
sign of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack on your website.
It is assumed in this tutorial that Nginx server is installed in your server.
The following procedures are tested on running Centos 7 64-bit Linux distribution.
Enable ngx_http_limit_req_module by adding the following script in your Nginx configuration:
http {
limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=one:10m rate=1r/s;
server {
limit_req zone=one burst=5;

}
}
Restart Nginx server:
systemctl restart nginx.service
You will see entry something like this in Nginx error log if theres abuse detected:
39
2015/08/27 02:18:05 [error] 21235#21235: *326 limiting requests, excess: 5.297 by zone one,
client: 91.214.169.44, server: www.webfoobar.com, request: GET /node/8 HTTP/1.1, host:
www.webfoobar.com, referrer: https://www.webfoobar.com/archive/201502
We will use this sample log entry for our fail2ban filter script.
Install fail2ban:
yum install -y fail2ban
Create fail2ban filter script based on the Nginx error log entry:
vi /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/nginx-ddos.conf
The content of this filter file:
[Definition]
failregex = limiting requests, excess:.* by zone.*client:
ignoreregex =
We will use the /etc/hosts.deny to block the IP of the DDoS attacker so we will need to create
new fail2ban action script:
vi /etc/fail2ban/action.d/hostsdeny.conf
Add the following script as its content:
[Definition]
actionstart =
actionstop =
actioncheck =
actionban = IP= &&
printf %%b : $IP\n >>
actionunban = IP= && sed -i.old /ALL:\ $IP/d
[Init]
file = /etc/hosts.deny
daemon_list = ALL
Enable the newly created fail2ban filter:
vi /etc/fail2ban/jail.local
Append the following script:
[nginx-ddos]
enabled = true
40
port = http,https
banaction = hostsdeny
findtime = 120
bantime = 7200
maxretry = 30
logpath = %(nginx_error_log)s
Start the fail2ban service:
systemctl start fail2ban
systemctl enable fail2ban.service
systemctl list-unit-files | grep fail2ban
To check the status of this fail2ban filter:
fail2ban-client status nginx-ddos
You will see something like this:
Status for the jail: nginx-ddos
|- Filter
| |- Currently failed: 18
| |- Total failed: 770
| `- File list:
/var/log/nginx/nginx_error_log
`- Actions
|- Currently banned: 1
|- Total banned: 8
`- Banned IP list: 91.214.169.44
To test if the fail2ban nginx-ddos filter working:
fail2ban-regex /var/log/nginx/nginx_error_log /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/nginx-ddos.conf
You can use apache-bench to test the whole system:
ab -n 20 -c 10 http://www.example.com
Execute the following command to monitor the fail2ban log:
watch -n 1 tail -n 20 /var/log/fail2ban.log
And you will something like this while testing with apache-bench:
Nginx as reverse proxy for Apache

Setup Nginx as reverse proxy for Apache with Virtualmin support

We know that Nginx is more faster than Apache and most of us prefer to replace Apache with
Nginx as their web server.
Nginx is known to serve faster static content and run with less RAM. As of this writing,
Virtualmin supports Apache as its web server.
To take advantage of Nginx, we will install it as reverse proxy for Apache and continue using
Virtualmin to manage your domains. Nginx configurations for virtual host are tailored for Drupal
site and microcache is used here.
distribution.
Install Nginx
If you need to install Nginx with Pagespeed module please follow the steps here instead and
jump to configure Nginx section.
In able to install the latest Nginx server we will need to register Nginx repository:
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/nginx.repo
Have the following codes as its content:
name=nginx repo
baseurl=http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/centos/$releasever/$basearch/
gpgcheck=0
priority=1
enabled=0
Note: if just in case the nginx does not install try to hard code the $releasever with value of 7
Install Nginx using yum:
yum enablerepo=nginx -y install nginx
Make Nginx auto-start upon reboot:
chkconfig nginx on
Configure Nginx
Edit the main Nginx file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf to match the following:
user nginx;
# This number should be, at maximum, the number of CPU cores on your system.
# (since nginx doesnt benefit from more than one worker per CPU.)
worker_processes auto;

Create the file /etc/nginx/hotlinking_protection.conf and add the following to it:
## Hotlinking protection for images. Include it in any context you
## want. Adjust the list of allowed referers to your liking.
valid_referers none blocked
www.yahoo.com
www.google.com.ph
www.google.com;
if ($invalid_referer) {
return 200 No hotlinking allowed\n;
}
Create the folders /etc/nginx/sites-available and /etc/nginx/sites-enabled:
mkdir /etc/nginx/sites-available /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
chown nginx. /etc/nginx/sites-available /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
In /etc/nginx/sites-available contains the physical file Nginx configurations for your virtual hosts
and to enable a virtual host Nginx configuration just create a soft link if this configuration file
from /etc/nginx/sites-available to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled. This is easy and good approach to
disable and enable a virtual host.
Restart Nginx:
systemctl restart nginx.service
Setup Nginx requirements
In this tutorial the Apache will use port 8000 and lets open this port to become accessible:
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp dport 8000 -j ACCEPT
iptables line -vnL
service iptables save
service iptables restart
Create the Nginx cache path folder:
mkdir /var/cache/nginx/microcache
chown nginx:root /var/cache/nginx/microcache
chmod 700 /var/cache/nginx/microcache
Create Nginx logrotate script:
54
vi /etc/logrotate.d/websites_nginx_logs.conf
Content:
/var/log/virtualmin/*nginx_access_log /var/log/virtualmin/*nginx_error_log {
rotate 10
missingok
daily
compress
postrotate
service httpd graceful ; sleep 5
endscript
sharedscripts
}
Configure Apache
Since Nginx is reverse proxy to Apache, the IP address that Apache will get is the IP of the server
and we need to correct that. Apache 2.4 and above do have mod_remoteip and we will use that
module. Open mod_remoteips configuration file:
vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/remoteip.conf
Add the following codes:
# mod_remoteip settings
RemoteIPHeader X-Real-IP
RemoteIPInternalProxy 127.0.0.1
RemoteIPInternalProxy 188.8.8.8
Note: change 188.8.8.8 to your servers IP address.
Change the port of Apache:
vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Look for:
Listen 80
and change to:
Listen 8000
Restart Apache:
systemctl restart httpd.service
55
Configure Virtualmin
Set the virtual server template to listen to 8000. Login to Virtualmin, go to System Settings ->
Server Templates -> Default Settings and select from the dropdown Apache Website.
Change the Port number for virtual hosts from 80 to 8000. Restart webmin:
systemctl restart webmin.service
Lets build the necessary scripts that will automate the creation of Nginx virtual host file each
time Virtualmin created a new server. First the Nginx virtual host template:
vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/template.conf
The content:
## Configuration for {DOM}.
server {
## Replace XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX with your servers IPv4 address
listen XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:80;
## Replace XXXX:XXXX::XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX with your servers IPv6 address
listen [XXXX:XXXX::XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX]:80;
server_name {DOM};
## Redirect permanently to domain with www
return 301 $scheme://www.{DOM}$request_uri;
}
server {
## Replace XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX with your servers IPv4 address
listen XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:80;
## Replace XXXX:XXXX::XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX with your servers IPv6 address
listen [XXXX:XXXX::XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX]:80;
server_name www.{DOM};
## Access and error logs.
access_log /var/log/virtualmin/{DOM}_nginx_access_log;
error_log /var/log/virtualmin/{DOM}_nginx_error_log error;
## Root of the site and index.
root {HOME}/public_html;
index index.php;
## Deny access based on the User-Agent header.
if ($bad_bot) {
return 444;
}
## Deny access based on the Referer header.
if ($bad_referer) {
return 444;
}

56
## GET and POST are allowed.

if ($not_allowed_method) {
return 405;
}

Make the script executable:
chmod u+x /usr/local/bin/virtualmin.sh
Let Virtualmin know about the virtualmin.sh. Login to Virtualmin, go to System Settings ->
Virtualmin Configuration and select from dropdown Actions upon server and user creation.
Populate the Command to run after making changes to a server field with:
/usr/local/bin/virtualmin.sh

Banning visitors from a specific country using Fail2ban

CENTOS 7
This article, we will take a look on how to exempt from banning visitors from a specific country
using Fail2ban and geoip.
It is assumed that Fail2ban is already installed and configured in your server.
Lets install first the geoip:
yum install geoip
Create Fail2ban action script:
vi /etc/fail2ban/action.d/geohostsdeny.conf
58
Copy the following script:

[Definition]
# Option: actionstart
# Notes.: command executed once at the start of Fail2Ban.
# Values: CMD
#
actionstart =
# Option: actionstop
# Notes.: command executed once at the end of Fail2Ban
# Values: CMD
#
actionstop =
# Option: actioncheck
# Notes.: command executed once before each actionban command
# Values: CMD
#
actioncheck =
# Option: actionban
# Notes.: command executed when banning an IP. Take care that the
#
command is executed with Fail2Ban user rights.
#
Excludes PH|Philippines from banning.
# Tags: See jail.conf(5) man page
# Values: CMD
#
actionban = IP=<ip> &&
COUNTRY=$(geoiplookup $IP | egrep <country_list>) && [ $COUNTRY ] ||
(printf %%b <daemon_list>: $IP\n >> <file>
# Option: actionunban
# Notes.: command executed when unbanning an IP. Take care that the
#
command is executed with Fail2Ban user rights.
# Tags: See jail.conf(5) man page
# Values: CMD
#
actionunban = IP=<ip> && sed -i.old /ALL:\ $IP/d <file>
[Init]
# Option: country_list
# Notes.: List of exempted countries separated by pipe |
# Values: STR Default:
59
#
country_list = PH|Philippines
# Option: file
# Notes.: hosts.deny file path.
# Values: STR Default: /etc/hosts.deny
#
file = /etc/hosts.deny
# Option: daemon_list
# Notes: The list of services that this action will deny. See the man page
#
for hosts.deny/hosts_access. Default is all services.
# Values: STR Default: ALL
daemon_list = ALL
The script above will exempt from banning the visitors from Philippines which defined in
country_list.
To enable our action script in Fail2Ban:
vi /etc/fail2ban/jail.local
Copy the following line:
banaction = geohostsdeny
Restart Fail2Ban:
systemctl restart fail2ban
