 ./main.py -i 192.168.88.1 -p 2000 -u admin -ps 123456 -J

Output:

The output includes 3 sections for each test:

1. raw data - all the data we search in.
2. suspicious - things we found out as suspicious - should be checked if they are legitimate or malicious.
3. recommendation - things we found out as weak security points and recommendations for fixing them.

More info & solution:

Researchers developed this forensic tool while investigating how MikroTik devices are used in Trickbot C2 infrastructure. You can read more about the research here.
