MikroTik RouterBoard Password Generator
Reverse-engineered password generation algorithm based on MAC address analysis.
IMPORTANT DISCOVERY: Two different MAC addresses generate the SAME password:
MAC: 18:FD:74:F9:04:FC → Password: c8fd-8bff
MAC: 18:FD:74:F9:04:90 → Password: c8fd-8bff
The only difference is the last byte (FC vs 90), proving it's NOT used!
Pattern discovered:
- Only uses first 5 MAC bytes (byte 5 is ignored)
- Byte 0: MAC[0] XOR 0xD0
- Byte 1: MAC[1] (direct copy)
- Byte 2: NOT(MAC[2])
- Byte 3: 0xFF (constant or derived)
WARNING: This is based on reverse engineering two MAC addresses that both
produce the same password. More data points would help verify the constants.
