Re: [users@httpd] site compromised and httpd log analysis [EXT]

2022-07-06 Thread Paul Kudla (SCOM.CA Internet Services Inc.)



ok thats for more detail 

ok redirects simply are considered insecure when it comes to ssl certs

ie apache serves the content under the alias redirect previous to going 
towards the main site.


that will defanitely be the issue.

i ran into this myself (i have multiple domains redirected on one account ?)

my config for this is below maybe this helps ?

it handles all the domains and the http redirects

i believe the trick is to issue all of the redirects under http:// only 
pointing to one https:// is how i got around this issue.


otherwise you would need one cert per actual domain

i dont see the harm in http:// --> https:// actual site

since apache redirects it immediately?

Never had these issues at all if you set up vhosts correctly.

But agree we tend to have 2 vhosts for the domain

  * vhost 1 is the real vhost and handle requests
  * vhost 2 contains all the redirects from other domain names to the canonical 
one

The only ServerAlias lines in vhost 1 are for development URLs which are run on 
different servers

But we also don't expose our wordpress - but use a mirroring script to serve 
the site as predominantly static {takes careful design to do this!}

ok may or may not be related but i found i had to lock php, wordpress etc down 
heavely in apache

especially if you are using vhosts

i found one authorized site could talk to another without making things more 
strict

yes its a pain to have one vhost per site but its the only way to fully isolate 
one from the other

if someone executes stuff it stays within their working directory

example (shows http alias etc - note the directory directives - i use a database 
--> script generator so its not too inconvient.) :
