Winbox configuration files

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/12/31

A few notes:

  • WinBox configuration files are under %APPDATA%\Mikrotik\Winbox
    • The subdirectory sessions contains binary *.viw files 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 6.40.3-2932358209 and 6.43.13-695307561 contain 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.jg
      • dhcp.crc / dhcp.jg
      • hotspot.crc / hotspot.jg
      • icons.crc / icons.png
      • mpls.crc / mpls.jg
      • ppp.crc / ppp.jg
      • roteros.crc / roteros.jg
      • roting4.crc / roting4.jg
      • secure.crc / secure.jg
      • wlan6.crc / wlan6.jg
    • There are binary files Addresses.cdb and settings.cfg.viw
    • A text file named sessionpath contains the expanded path %APPDATA%\Mikrotik\Winbox\sessions

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.

Some links I found:

On my list of things to try: adapters to modulate ethernet network over coax cable

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/12/24

One of the problems in our house is that all PVC conduits embedded in the walls and floors have concrete in them.

It means that when you pull out a cable, you can never get a cable back in (I tried that with the phone cables), and that empty PVC conduits cannot be used at all.

This might be an option to get ethernet to the places that have coax wiring (like the TV outlets)

Fixing a classic Ring Chime that does not power on any more (no blue light)

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/12/23

A well known classic Ring Chime problem is that shortly after warranty expires, it won’t power on any more (no blue light visible at all):

[Wayback] Ring Chime Pro no power – Products / Accessories – Ring Community

Usually the built-in power supply is toast, and it is relatively easy to replace this with a USB power supply.

The below video shows how to do that for a classic Ring Chime Pro.

I’ve repeated the steps for a classic Ring Chime (model 8AC3S5-0EU0) that I got from [Archive.is] Ring Chime – WLAN Türgong für Video Türklingel, weiß: Amazon.de: Alle Produkte

Reset MikroTik through LCD TouchScreen when reset button procedure fails

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/12/13

I wanted access to a supposedly reset a MikroTik [WayBack] MikroTik CRS109-8G-1S-2HnD-IN, but the default credentials did not work. Somehow, keeping the reset button pushed for almost 20 seconds also did not reset+reboot it.

Luckily, the default PIN code was still 1234 ([WayBack] Manual:LCD TouchScreen: PIN code – MikroTik Wiki) so I could reset it ([WayBack] Manual:LCD TouchScreen: Reboot and Reset Configuration – MikroTik Wiki).

After this, I changed credentials and PIN, documented configuration and credentials, and ensured there is a back-up of that documentation available.

Note: fiddling with power and reset button might have worked, though it is odd the CRS109 documentation does not mention this. PIN code worked faster, so that’s what solved my issue first.

First/Last-Tab: Ctrl-1/9 (or Command-1/9): Switch Between Tabs in Any Browser Using Shortcut Keys

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/12/10

Only recently, I learned this works on just about any web-browser:

  • Ctrl-9 (macOS: Command-9) goes to LAST tab
  • Ctrl-1 (macOS: Command-1) goes go FIRST tab

Via: [WayBack] Switch Between Tabs in Any Browser Using Shortcut Keys

For those keyboard ninjas who hate using the mouse, switching between tabs in your browser window is essential since most people probably have a bunch of tabs open at once. […]

If you want to go to a specific tab, you can press CTRL + N, where N is a number between 1 and 8. Unfortunately, you can’t go past 8, so if you have more than eight tabs, you’ll have to use a different keyboard shortcut or just click on it. CTRL + 9 will take you to the last tab, even if there are more than 8!

Splitting the ping

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/12/09

Cool tool that shows the asymmetric timing character of networks (usually because the send and receive paths are different): [Wayback] Splitting the ping

split-ping is a tool that can tell you what direction packet latency or loss is on. This is handy for network debugging and locating congestion.

The blog above explains the reason and details in great depth. Recommended reading.

Source code: [Archive.is] benjojo/sping: Split ping, see what direction the loss or latency is on

It is supposed to work better than [Wayback] cmds/isoping.cc – vendor/google/platform – Git at Google

 * Like ping, but sends packets isochronously (equally spaced in time) in
 * each direction.  By being clever, we can use the known timing of each
 * packet to determine, on a noisy network, which direction is dropping or
 * delaying packets and by how much.
 *
 * Also unlike ping, this requires a server (ie. another copy of this
 * program) to be running on the remote end.

console convert pcap to wav: not easily possible; use the WireShark GUI to do

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/12/01

Wanting a simple way on the console to convert a .pcap file to a .wav file, I searched for [Wayback] console convert pcap to wav – Google Search.

The reason is that [Wayback] fritzcap (written in Python) sometimes crashes while doing the conversion of a phone recording, so then only the .pcap file is available. I still want to figure this out, but given my health situation, I might not be able to in time.
