Draft - Work In Progress
Basic configuration
Disable directoryBrowsing
Avoid wildcard host headers
Ensure applicationPoolIdentity is configured for all application pools
Use an unique applicationPool per site
Disable IIS detailed error page from displaying remotely
Request filtering
Configure maxAllowedContentLength
Configure maxURL request filter
Configure MaxQueryString request filter
Reject non-ASCII characters in URLs
Reject double-encoded requests
Disable HTTP trace requests
Disallow unlisted file extensions
Enable Dynamic IP Address Restrictions
Transport Encryption
SSL/TLS settings are controlled at the SChannel level. They are set machine wide and IIS respects these values.
A list of recommendations for IIS
Disable SSL v2/v3
Disable TLS 1.0
Disable TLS 1.1
Ensure TLS 1.2 is enabled
Disable weak cipher suites (NULL cipher suites, DES cipher suites, RC4 cipher suites, Triple DES, etc)
Ensure TLS cipher suites are correctly ordered
HSTS support
IIS recently (Windows Server 1709) added turnkey support for HSTS
CORS support
If you choose not to handle CORS in your application, we ship an IIS an IIS module to help configure CORS
