Hacked or error?

Fri Mar 19, 2021 9:56 am

One of our routers suddenly eat 25% CPU (1 CPU at 100%). Process is unclassified. I cant reboot it. Not with winbox and not with cli.
Just says it will reboot soon but does not reboot.

Before I drive to the router. Anything I could do remote?

Do an export (/export file=anynameyoulike) and check the config file if it contains anything unknown (like scripts). You can also share this file (/export hide-sensitive file=anyothernameyoulike) here on the forum to have a second opinion.

What version of RouterOS?
Was the router open from internet to manage (Winbox/web/SSH/Telnet) (or just from LAN IP?

Can you ask someone local to power cycle it?

Found someone to power cycle it. No internet exposure. Looks like a SW Problem.

@ste

Quoting does more than just clutter the post. It does also send me an email that someone has quoted the post.
That is ok when posting to some old thread and when there are many post between reply.
What you do is not needed.
