Navigate MikroTik-specific protocols and file formats: WinBox/M2/nova IPC, MAC-WinBox, MAC-Telnet, RoMON, MNDP, native API, btest, EoIP, IP packing, WebFig jsproxy, CAPsMAN, CMR, MLAG ICCP, Loop Protect, Nv2, cloud services, The Dude, and RouterOS binary files. Use to identify unfamiliar MikroTik traffic or files by port, EtherType, or artifact; find vendor docs, research, or implementations; or learn what is still unknown. A background index; specialist skills handle operations.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# RouterOS Proprietary Protocols and File Formats

An index of MikroTik-specific wire protocols and files. Each row gives a
fingerprint, where to read, and what the linked material covers. The linked
docs and code hold the details; read them before implementing anything.

**Coverage** describes what this index links, not all public knowledge:
**docs** (vendor behavior/config docs), **spec** (vendor wire spec),
**code** (tikoci implementation), **research** (version-scoped m2ir findings),
**leads** (sources to investigate; not assessed here), **gap** (wire/format
details not curated here).

## WinBox first

WinBox talks to RouterOS's internal M2 (`nv::message`) / nova IPC system. That
makes WinBox the main entry point for understanding how the router represents
configuration. Start with m2ir's [agent reading map][m2ir-map]. It routes capture
decoding, patched WinBox clients, and native configuration backends to canonical
YAML. For other formats, use the [format and research index][m2ir-index].

## Protocols

Ports and EtherTypes are defaults and clues, not proof of protocol. They come
from MikroTik's [Services][services] page, the bridge filter
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tikoci/routeros-skills/routeros-proprietary-protocols@sha256:75e7f4963e5444c0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261107.1982e24, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
