Intro..
After exploring the winbox clientserver protocol, i wanted to find some ways to get rid of winbox service and winbox client…
This finding, has to do only with the mikrotik router, who has winbox service running (on port 8291 or in any other port)
On my try to make a test on the server, in order to cause a lot of traffic, i saw the service being unstable, causing various probs to whole router. The minimum prob was the 100% cpu load, but there are various probs depending on hardware and routeros version. The exploit’s logic is very simple, and the winbox protocol analysis is simple too.So it made me identify that vulnerability very easy. The vulnerability found while trying to download a DLL/plugin file from mikrotik router (just like winbox client does) and choose a big file, and request the 1st part of it many times.. That is what causes the DoS. The only file needed here is the .py script, and it is tested on python 2.4 and 2.7 versions.
More details, download and usage, are below.. :
