✨ Key Features

🔐 Authentication & Brute-Force

RouterOS API (TCP 8728/8729) — full binary protocol implementation (6.x MD5 challenge + 7.x plaintext)
REST API over HTTP/HTTPS (TCP 80/443) — Basic Auth brute-force
MAC-Telnet (TCP 20561) — Layer-2 proprietary protocol (no IP needed)
Multi-target (--target-list / -T) — scan from file, sequential engine per target
Threading — up to 15 workers (--threads N)

🔍 CVE Scanner & Exploit Engine

40 exploit classes — 22 CVEs + 2 design findings + 13 Exploit-DB PoCs + 5 new CVEs
Pre-auth exploits — Winbox (CVE-2018-14847, CVE-2018-10066), HTTP traversal, SNMP, SMB, BFD, OSPF, DNS
Post-auth exploits — Scheduler RCE, Container escalation, FOISted, WireGuard key extraction, packet sniffer wiretapping
Version-aware — CVE database maps applicability to detected RouterOS version
--scan-cve — standalone CVE scan (no brute-force needed)

🌐 Winbox CVE Coverage (TCP 8291)

CVE-2018-14847 — Credential disclosure (Chimay-Red / EternalWink) — pre-auth file read
CVE-2018-10066 — Authentication bypass / directory traversal
CVE-2021-27263 — Auth bypass (RouterOS 7.0.x)
CVE-2018-14847-MAC — Same exploit delivered via MNDP Layer-2 discovery
NSE script — nse/mikrotik-winbox-cve-2018-14847.nse (Nmap integration)

ℹ️ Winbox credential brute-force via the proprietary Winbox GUI protocol is not implemented (no reliable portable auth library). Use API port 8728 for brute-force. All Winbox CVE exploits (pre-auth file read, bypass) are fully implemented.

🛰️ MAC-Server / Layer-2 Discovery (v3.3.0+)

MNDP broadcast (UDP 20561) — discovers devices even without IP
MAC-Telnet brute-force (TCP 20561) — proprietary MAC-Telnet auth
CVE-2018-14847-MAC — Winbox credential disclosure via MNDP-discovered devices
L2 constraint — requires same broadcast domain

🔓 Offline Credential Decoders (v3.5.0+)

Based on mikrotik-tools by Kirils Solovjovs, ported to Python 3:

--decode-userdat — decode user.dat after CVE-2018-14847 extraction (XOR with MD5 key)
--decode-backup — extract .backup archive + auto-decode credentials
--decode-supout — list sections in supout.rif diagnostic files
--analyze-npk — NPK package analyzer (CVE-2019-3977 vector)

🗺️ Nmap NSE Scripts (v3.6.0+)

Five Lua scripts in nse/ for Nmap integration:

mikrotik-routeros-version.nse — fingerprint RouterOS from HTTP/API/Winbox
mikrotik-api-brute.nse — full API brute-force (6.x MD5 + 7.x plaintext auth)
mikrotik-default-creds.nse — test default/empty creds on all interfaces
mikrotik-api-info.nse — authenticated info dump (users, services, firewall)
mikrotik-winbox-cve-2018-14847.nse — Winbox credential disclosure check

🎯 Wordlists

Compatible with mrhenrike/WordListsForHacking
Includes labs_mikrotik_pass.lst (MikroTik-specific), labs_passwords.lst, labs_users.lst
Smart wordlist engine with target-informed combinations

🔄 Sessions, Stealth & Export

Persistent sessions — resume interrupted attacks (--resume)
Stealth mode — Fibonacci delays, User-Agent rotation (--stealth)
Progress bar — ETA and speed display (--progress)
Export — JSON, CSV, XML, TXT (--export-all)
Proxy — SOCKS5/HTTP proxy support (--proxy socks5://...)

🚀 Quick Start

🧱 RouterOS Defenses You Will Encounter

Session controls and server-side anti-fraud for auth flows
Request limits and rate-limiting per source (when configured)
Temporary account lockouts and backoff windows
Extensive logging (auth failures, rate limiting, HTTP 4xx/5xx)
IDS/IPS/NAC and WAF-likes in front of HTTP endpoints

Prefer stealth mode, sensible thread counts, and authorized maintenance windows.

🛡️ Defensive Mitigations for RouterOS Admins

# Disable unused services
/ip service disable telnet,ftp,api

# Restrict API access by source IP
/ip service set api address=10.0.0.0/8

# Disable MAC-Server (L2 exposure)
/tool mac-server set allowed-interface-list=none
/ip neighbor discovery-settings set discover-interface-list=none

# Add firewall to protect management ports
/ip firewall filter

📋 What's New

v3.6.0 (current)

NSE auto-installer — mikrotikapi_bf/nse_installer.py copies NSE scripts to Nmap on Windows/Linux/macOS automatically during pip install or pip install --upgrade
--install-nse flag and mikrotikapi-install-nse entry point for manual NSE installation
3 more official Nmap MikroTik scripts bundled: mikrotik-routeros-brute.nse, mikrotik-routeros-username-brute.nse, broadcast-mndp-discover.nse
300-thread support — --threads N (up to 300) with mandatory --high-threads disclaimer for values > 15
Delay profiles for rate-limit validation — new --delay-mode high|balanced|stealth|custom with high as default and custom via -s/--seconds
Rate-limiting benchmark snapshot (2026-04-08) — on CHR 7.22.1 default-fresh: high=3.70 att/s, custom(0.05s)=3.15 att/s, balanced=1.85 att/s, stealth=0.79 att/s; sustained high run (300 attempts) remained stable at 3.68 att/s
setup.py post-install hook — NSE scripts installed automatically on pip install
pyproject.toml fixed — proper setuptools.build_meta backend; package builds and passes twine check
GitHub Actions — .github/workflows/publish-pypi.yml + publish-testpypi.yml with OIDC trusted publishing
PyPI-ready — dist/mikrotikapi_bf-3.6.0-py3-none-any.whl built and validated
Printer NSE scripts — collected in dev/Printers/ (12 scripts: HP, Xerox, Lexmark, CUPS, PJL, SNMP)
