[Feature Request] - Port Knocking/Single Packet Authorization (fwknop)

RouterOS General
1

Hey,

It would be nice if there was a built in way to support one or some of the Open Source SPA/Port Knocking Daemons. For example:

fwknop - http://www.cipherdyne.org/fwknop/

I’d like to use port-knocking but would love to be able to have something more secure than just a sequence of ports or static data checked via Layer7 Filter.

I’d like to bump this topic.

Is there any work being done for the RouterOS?

fwknop is even supported on OpenWRT routers.

Thanks.

Many things are supported in openwrt and not in ros. You can set the rules for port knocking as you wish. So why you don’t?

Jarda,

Thanks for the reply. I understand and already implement PK. I was looking for an enhancement. The purpose of fwknnp it to make it more secure and easier to use.

Thanks.
