Update 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.

Unimus 1.7.0 and Network Automation

Last week, we released Unimus 1.7.0. The biggest part of this release was our new Network Automation / Mass Config Push feature.
This release marks a huge milestone for Unimus, and in this article, we would like to tell you more about it!

This article will mostly focus on Network Automation, since this is the biggest, and the most interesting feature in this release.

Network-wide MikroTik RouterOS upgrade with Unimus

Recently, MikroTik has had a series of painful vulnerabilities. More details can be found here and here.
But MikroTik is not alone in this. Cisco also recently had a bad ASA vulnerability (info here), and just last year Ubiquiti had a massive exploit which brought down many networks around the world (more details).

This article will focus on MikroTik - we will show you how you can do a network wide mass upgrade of RouterOS using Unimus, and the RouterOS Package Source feature. What's even better, doing the entire upgrade process (including setup of Unimus and RouterOS Package Source) can be done in under an hour.
