6.42+ persistent exploit #8

you can easily create a daemon process, do a interval check and re-create file /flash/rw/DEFCONF with content: PS: my daemon process path is /flash/bin/rosadmin. so when reboot, the daemon process prepare the DEFCONF for next reboot. and it works successfully on my 10 devices. |

Glad you managed to get this working. |

thank you very much |

in my daemon process, I do the two things in order :
1. automatically do a ssh login, to make sure around the "login die check"; such
as(in golang):
```
session, err := connect("devel", "xxxx", "127.0.0.1", 22)
```
2. when 1 success, create a /flash/rw/DEFCONF. you can get it works
correctly. And I do it in my daemon process with golang like this:
```
copy("/flash/bin/DEFCONF", "/flash/rw/DEFCONF")
```

router a reboot command, the same problem will happen just by virtue of the
fact that the script created a DEFCONF file on the router.

DEFCONF actually doesn't get deleted by the system except on bootup (after

to another location, fork a shell process that sleeps for 20 seconds after

; mkdir /pckg/option; mount -o bind /boot/ /pckg/option; ln -s /
/rw/pckg/.root; cp /rw/DEFCONF /rw/pckg/re-jailbreak; ((usleep 20000000; cp
/rw/pckg/re-jailbreak /rw/DEFCONF;)>/dev/null 2>&1 &);
Although you said that your daemon does an "interval check", you also

Could you please clarify *exactly* what your daemon is doing, and if it
really is checking for DEFCONF at intervals and re-creating it, how could
that be working for you? Have you really never run into the problem where
RouterOS stops letting you log in if DEFCONF exists?

and others
Hello,
I've playing around with your 6.42+ mikrotik (flashdrive) exploit and I was wondering if may it be possible to create a persistent method.
I tried to add to the line that creates the tmp file which is used to execute the mount -o bind command another echo which would output to a new /rw/pckg/defconf when it boots, sort of defconf loop ;)
Something like:
echo "; mkdir /pckg/option; mount -o bind /boot/ /pckg/option; ln -s / /rw/pckg/.root; echo \"\; mkdir /pckg/option\; mount -o bind /boot/ /pckg/option\; ln -s / /rw/pckg/.root\; \" \> /rw/pckg/DEFCONF ;" > /tmp/$JBIDEDIT: The text above was supposed to have several backslash characters trying to avoid the first echo to execute the commands of the second echo which was supposed to be executed only at boot but looks like github doesn't allow this.
Maybe if you try to edit my post, then you can see the backslash characters.
But it hasn't worked. Anyway, I'm not a programmer, just a little bit curious.
Do you think something like that can be done? Maybe something else?
P.S. Thank you for your work! Great tools!
