The article does not explain enough the implications for us mere mortals without high math/security knowledge. I think many people owning a Mikrotik device would want to know if:
1 - To what extent this makes Mikrotik hardware less secure? -> solutions?
2 - Does this make easier to flash open 3rd party Linux/BSD/whatever based firmware on said devices? -> suggestions?
- withzombies 5y agoIt re-enables third-party scripts that were disabled when mikrotik updated the authentication algorithm with routerOS 6.45.1 (August 2019). A1. From a cryptography perspective it's a little bonkers but nothing is glaringly wrong. A2. This doesn't relate to any secure boot chains (if they exist -- i don't think they do)
