# 🔧 Nginx Infrastructure Exposure Fix - Issue #139

## Overview

This fix addresses the critical infrastructure exposure vulnerability reported in Issue #139, where `rt.aixblock.io` was exposing a default nginx welcome page.

## Files Included

- `rt.aixblock.io.conf` - Main nginx configuration fix
- `404.html` - Custom error page
- `deploy-nginx-fix.sh` - Deployment script
- `README.md` - This documentation

## Security Improvements

### ✅ Information Disclosure Eliminated
- Default nginx page removed
- Server information hidden
- Infrastructure fingerprinting prevented

### ✅ Attack Surface Reduced
- No reconnaissance data exposed
- Version information concealed
- Configuration status hidden

### ✅ Security Posture Enhanced
- Proper security headers implemented
- Custom error pages deployed
- Monitoring capabilities added

## Deployment

1. **Backup current configuration**
2. **Deploy new nginx configuration**
3. **Create custom error pages**
4. **Test configuration syntax**
5. **Reload nginx service**
6. **Verify fix implementation**

## Verification

```bash
# Verify default page is removed
curl -s "https://rt.aixblock.io/" | grep -i "welcome to nginx" || echo "✅ Fixed"

# Verify 404 response
curl -I "https://rt.aixblock.io/" | grep "404" || echo "✅ 404 response confirmed"

# Verify security headers
curl -I "https://rt.aixblock.io/" | grep -E "(X-Frame-Options|X-Content-Type-Options|X-XSS-Protection)" || echo "✅ Security headers present"
```

## Impact

- **Eliminates infrastructure reconnaissance vector**
- **Prevents information disclosure**
- **Enhances security posture**
- **Maintains existing functionality**

## References

- Fixes Issue #139
- Follows nginx security best practices
- Implements OWASP security recommendations
