Winbox configuration files
Posted by jpluimers on 2021/12/31
A few notes:
- WinBox configuration files are under
%APPDATA%\Mikrotik\Winbox- The subdirectory
sessionscontains binary*.viwfiles that seem to represent “view” configurations (the positions, dimensions and other properties of the open Windows in a Winbox session) where the*of the name seems to be an IPv4 address of a machine. - Directories named like
6.40.3-2932358209and6.43.13-695307561contain configuration files that seem to determine what WinBox features a certain RouterOS version should reveal; files in those directories seem to always be these:advtool.crc/advtool.jgdhcp.crc / dhcp.jghotspot.crc/hotspot.jgicons.crc/icons.pngmpls.crc/mpls.jgppp.crc/ppp.jgroteros.crc/roteros.jgroting4.crc/roting4.jgsecure.crc/secure.jgwlan6.crc/wlan6.jg
- There are binary files
Addresses.cdbandsettings.cfg.viw - A text file named
sessionpathcontains the expanded path%APPDATA%\Mikrotik\Winbox\sessions
- The subdirectory
The *.crc files contain a CRC code, presumably on the contents of the correspoding *.jg file. The *.jg files seem to contain some kind of JSON.
