Read moreUpdate on Unimus codebase and release security
The last few months have seen a significant increase in focus on security in our industry.
In December 2020 SolarWinds announced that it's
Orion software was exploited in a supply-chain attack, and
utilized
as an attack vector to breach many enterprise and government networks.
This incident (rightly so) showed just how important security is for infrastructure management tools.
In this article, we want to share the steps and precautions we are taking right now, and what we plan to
implement going forward, to ensure the Unimus codebase and releases stay as secure as possible.

Validating the security of your MikroTik routers network-wide
Recently, there has been a resurgence of attacks on MikroTik RouterOS devices (articles
here,
here
and here)
using multiple vulnerabilities that were fixed in April 2018 (release 6.42.1), but also falling
back to some older vulnerabilities.
These new attacks primarily use an exploit in Winbox (one of MikroTiks management interfaces),
to gain control of the router, and perform various malicious tasks.
In this article, we will use Unimus to check if any of your routers are compromised across your whole network. We will also look into how to use Unimus to both audit and fix potential security holes for old and new MikroTik exploits alike.
