Both server and client generate these keys using “magic” strings and the HMAC key derivation function, HKDF. RouterOS also uses separate send and receive keys for both HMAC and AES, labeled below as AES s, AES r, HMAC s, HMAC r. MikroTik employs a MAC-then-encrypt strategy, leveraging AES-CBC as the encryption algorithm and HMAC as the authentication algorithm. The server and client can encrypt data once confirming an equivalent shared secret.
#WINBOX FOR MAC MIKROTIK PASSWORD#
The server validates the username and password by similarly calculating Cc and checking against the client provided value.
#WINBOX FOR MAC MIKROTIK REGISTRATION#
Plots v as the server did during registration and retrieves the x coordinate, v x.

Calculates v's private key, vp = SHA2(salt | SHA2(username | “:” | password)).

Knowledge of the correct password is required to compute the shared secret, so identical secrets indicate successful authentication. SRP is a type of Password Authentication Key Exchange protocol which incorporates the password within key exchange calculations. MikroTik's new authentication process uses a variation of Secure Remote Password (SRP). Margin Research is excited to illuminate the authentication procedure and offer Python proof of concept (POC) implementations for Winbox and MAC Telnet authentication. MikroTik has since failed to detail the new authentication procedure despite user requests for assistance. While enhancing router security, this came as a blow for researchers, network administrators, and tinkerers who used customized tooling with MikroTik proprietary protocols such as MAC Telnet and Winbox.

In August 2019, MikroTik issued a RouterOS software update to version 6.45.1 which removed plaintext password storage on all routers that upgraded to the new firmware. Februby Ian Dupont and Joe Lothan Posted in:
