Re: Is there a way to restore config from hijacked mikrotik router?

There was the only user at the device with a subnet 199.0.0.0/8 added as allowed one. It's rather easy then to find a proxy host within this range. Luckily, the vulnerability worked still, and in combination with the working pptp server it has become possible to find inside the OP's network an anoth...

Re: Is there a way to restore config from hijacked mikrotik router?

Doesn't Router Scan have vulnerabilities itself, or did I mistake it for a another tool... Forgive me if I'm speaking out of school here. I don't know, but there's the default setting to automatically send out the results to the server, so it has to be configured properly first. It's just a tool th...

Re: Is there a way to restore config from hijacked mikrotik router?

Both winbox and web are open, but all passwords are changed or locked. There's a tool called Router Scan, which recently got the winbox exploit implemented. I think, you'd give it a try.

Re: Is there a way to restore config from hijacked mikrotik router?

some VPN works with previous passwords. which other services should I try? Are there open winbox/web services at these devices? For example, if there the winbox service was open before, and after the hijacking it's remaining open, you've got a chance to get the device back if there's a vulnerable R...

You posted the screenshot from there above, so do you have any access to the router? Or you had it once and have lost finally?

Any way I could avoid doing a factory reset for this?
Yes. You could use a Netwatch trick to gain full privileges and then remove the rogue user.

The gist mentioned above has been updated (e.g. listening to UDP 37008 explicitly, not all the interface traffic, and a note on Ethernet TZSP conversion).
