The topology for the network we will be testing on is simple:


What's even better, doing the entire upgrade process (including setup of Unimus and RouterOS Package Source) can be done in under an hour. This article will focus on MikroTik - we will show you how you can do a network wide mass upgrade of RouterOS using Unimus, and the RouterOS Package Source feature. Cisco also recently had a bad ASA vulnerability ( info here), and just last year Ubiquiti had a massive exploit which brought down many networks around the world ( more details).
