Not sure if op will see this, but with regard to his comments on MikroTik routers and frequently seeing in his honeypot logs, the command: /ip cloud print he is correct, This is a MikroTik command- although mikrotik has this feature, disabled/ off by default, a lot of users make use of it, and running that command will (if cloud dns enabled), will show the dynamic DNS entry of the device he is connected to. Ie if the cloud DNS is enabled, the output from that command will be something like: Detected public ip: 34.2.82.3 DynDns: djwisyehd.clouddns.mikrotik.com (which will always be updated to the detected public IP address of the router) So I assume the attackers run this command so that they can still reach the router in case it’s public IP address changes at some point. (And assuming that the device will still be accessible after any public IP address changes). (or perhaps they run that command to see if the cloud DNS service is disabled, which is the default, in which case they will then enable it so that they will have a dynamic DNS entry for the device).
