django-secure Description

Utilities and a 'linter' to help you make your Django site more secure django-secure is a Django app that helps you remember to do the stupid little things to improve your Django site's security.Inspired by Mozilla's Secure Coding Guidelines, and intended for sites that are entirely or mostly served over SSL (which should include anything with user logins).QuickstartTested with Django 1.2 through trunk, and Python 2.5 through 2.7. Quite likely works with older versions of both, though; it's not very complicated.InstallationInstall from PyPI with pip:pip install django-secureor get the in-development version:pip install django-secure==devUsage- Add "djangosecure" to your INSTALLED_APPS setting.- Add "djangosecure.middleware.SecurityMiddleware" to your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES setting (where depends on your other middlewares, but near the beginning of the list is probably a good choice).- Set the SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT setting to True if all non-SSL requests should be permanently redirected to SSL.- Set the SECURE_HSTS_SECONDS setting to an integer number of seconds, if you want to use HTTP Strict Transport Security.- Set the SECURE_FRAME_DENY setting to True, if you want to prevent framing of your pages and protect them from clickjacking.- Set SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE and SESSION_COOKIE_HTTPONLY to True if you are using django.contrib.sessions. These settings are not part of django-secure, but they should be used if running a secure site, and the checksecure management command will check their values.- Run python manage.py checksecure to verify that your settings are properly configured for serving a secure SSL site.WarningIf checksecure gives you the all-clear, all it means is that you're now taking advantage of a tiny selection of simple and easy security wins. That's great, but it doesn't mean your site or your codebase is secure: only a competent security audit can tell you that.DocumentationSee the full documentation for more details.
