MikroTik یک سرور مبتنی بر kernel لینوکس است که بر روی یک pc معمولی قابل نصب و سرویس دهی به صورت کاملا پایدار است. MikroTik ویژگی های زیادی دارد که برخی از آنها را ذکر می کنیم.یکی از ویژگی های MikroTik این است که اکثر سرویسهای آن مانند NAT , Bandwidth Manager , Filtering و ... بر روی Layer3 انجام می پذیرد و به همین دلیل نیازی به لایه های بالاتر ندارد که این خود مقدار قابل توجهی در بالا بردن کیفیت و performance سیستم تاثیر دارد. این امر به ما این امکان را می دهد که بر روی یک pc معمولی به عنوان مثال یک کامپیوتر Pentium 2 با 64M فضای RAM مقدار زیادی پهنای باند را رد کرده و اعمالی مثل NAT و Filtering روی آنها انجام دهیم.
در واقع MikroTik از pc های ما یک router کارآمد می سازد و این امکان را به ما می دهد که به آسانی بر روی آن پورتهای مختلف را اضافه و کم کنیم.
یکی دیگر از ویژگی های MikroTik پایداری آن است. MikroTik همانند یک روتر قوی از سرعت بوت بالا و عملکرد خودکار بدون نیاز به هیچ گونه login یا استارت کردن هر نوع سرویس بر خوردار است.
علاوه بر دسترسی محلی می توان MikroTik را به وسیله Telnet و SSH و Web server داخلی آن و رابط ویندوزی ارائه شده به همراه MikroTik به نام Winbox تنظیم کرد.
دیگر قابلیت قابل توجه MikroTik سرعت نصب و سرعت تنظیمات آن است. MikroTik در عرض چند دقیقه نصب و براحتی تنظیم میشود و این قابلیت در آن وجود دارد که بتوان تنظیمات آن را Import و Export کرد.
دیگر نقطه قوت MikroTik به صرفه بودن آن نسبت به نمونه های مشابه سخت افزاری است. با خرید یک عدد RouterOs و یک سرور با قدرتی متناسب با کار ما میتوانیم کارایی گرانفیمت ترین سخت افزارهارا با چندین برابر هزینه کمتر داشته باشیم. البته بماند که ما اکثرا از ورژن های کرک شده استفاده کرده و آنچنان پهنای باندی نداریم که بیشتر از یک کامپیوتر P3 نیاز شود.
در ادامه بعد از توضیح و آموزش NAT, Filtering توسط MikroTik به یک مثال برای یادگیری بیشتر خواهیم پرداخت.
NAT:
NAT یا Network Address Translation یک استاندارد در اینترنت است که به کامپیوتر های داحل یک شبکه این اجازه را می دهد که از یک رنج IP برای ارتباط داخلی و از یک رنج دیکر برای ارتباط خارجی استفاده کنند. به شبکه داحلی که از NAT استفاده می کند اصطلاحا Natted Network می گویند. برای ایجاد NAT باید در شبکه داخلی یک عدد NAT gateway داشته باشیم که ترجمه آدرسها در آن صورت گیرد.
در کل 2 نوع NAT وجود دارد:
SRCNAT یا Source Nat :
از این فرم Nat وقتی استفاده میکنیم که می خواهیم IP های Invalid یک شبکه داخلی یا Natted Network را به یک Valid IP ترجمه کنیم.در این حالت هر پکتی که به gateway برسد IP آن به یک Valid IP ترجمه گشته و بر روی اینترنت ارسال می شود. عکس این عمل برای پکت هایی که به پکت های قبلی Reply می شوند صادق است و عکس این عمل صورت میگیرد.
DSTNAT یا Destination Nat :
این فرم NAT را وقتی انجام می دهیم که بخواهیم یک شبکه private را برای شبکه public خود قابل دسترسی قرار دهیم. در این عمل Valid IP خود را به Invalid IP ترجمه میکنیم.
Redirect و Masquerade:
Redirect و Masquerade یک نوع خاص dstnat و srcnat است. Redirect یک نوع از dstnat است که نیازی به تعریف to-address ندارد و تنها شناساندن اینترفیس ورودی کافی است و Masquerade یک نوع srcnat است که نیازی به تعریف to-address ندارد و تنها معرفی یک اینترفیس خروجی کافی است. در این حالات دیگر فرقی ندارد که چه IP به اینترفیس ها متصل میگردد هر IP در رنج IP های add شده به اینترفیس عمل می کند. در Redirect فیلد to-port برای فرستادن کل ترافیک به یک پورت خاص است که بیشتر برای اعمالی نظیر web-proxy استفاده می شود.

Filter
Filter یک بخش از فایروال است.
فایروال چیست؟
فایروال در لغت به معنی دیواره آتش است اما در مفهوم مانند یک دیوار است که دور یک شهر کشیده شده و معابری مانند دروازه های شهر در آن وجود دارد که نگهبانانی در آنها وجود دارند که عبور و مرور را کنترل می نمایند.
در شبکه فایروال ها معمولا روی gateway نصب می شوند و تمامی عبور و مرور ها را کنترل می نمایند. که معمولا کار حفاظت اطلاعات داخلی را از هجوم های خارجی را بر عهده دارد.
فایروالها ممکن است استراتژی های مختلفی داشته باشند.که به نوع شبکه و نوع و level حفاظت بستگی دارد.

قائده کلی Filtering
فایروال بر پایه رول های آن بنا شده است یعنی فایروال و روتر کاری را انجام می دهد که رول ها بگویند. هر رول از 2 قسمت تشکیل شده است قسمت اول مشخص می کند که کدام پکت با رول ما match میشود و قسمت دوم عملی که روی پکت باید انجام بگیرد را مشخص می کند.
رول ها بر اساس chain آنها برای مدیریت بهتر دسته بندی می شوند. هر رول 3 حالت به صورت پیش فرض میتواند داشته باشد. Input و forward و output که به معنی پکت هایی که به مقصد روتر می آیند و پکت هایی که از روتر رد می شوند و پکت هایی که از مبدا روتر خارج می شوند هستند. حالتهایی هم به صورت دستی می توان برای فایروال تعریف کرد.

Max - specifies upper boundary of the size range
Max - specifies upper boundary of the size range
phys-in-interface (name) - matches the bridge port physical input device added to a bridge device. It is only useful if the packet has arrived through the bridge
phys-out-interface (name) - matches the bridge port physical output device added to a bridge device. It is only useful if the packet will leave the router through the bridge
protocol (ddp | egp | encap | ggp | gre | hmp | icmp | idrp-cmtp | igmp | ipencap | ipip | ipsec-ah | ipsec-esp | iso-tp4 | ospf | pup | rdp | rspf | st | tcp | udp | vmtp | xns-idp | xtp | integer) - matches particular IP protocol specified by protocol name or number. You should specify this setting if you want to specify ports
psd (integer,time,integer,integer) - attempts to detect TCP and UDP scans. It is advised to assign lower weight to ports with high numbers to reduce the frequency of false positives, such as from passive mode FTP transfers
WeightThreshold - total weight of the latest TCP/UDP packets with different destination ports coming from the same host to be treated as port scan sequence
DelayThreshold - delay for the packets with different destination ports coming from the same host to be treated as possible port scan subsequence
LowPortWeight - weight of the packets with privileged (<=1024) destination port
HighPortWeight - weight of the packet with non-priviliged destination port
DelayThreshold - delay for the packets with different destination ports coming from the same host to be treated as possible port scan subsequence
LowPortWeight - weight of the packets with privileged (<=1024) destination port
HighPortWeight - weight of the packet with non-priviliged destination port
random (integer: 1..99) - matches packets randomly with given propability
reject-with (icmp-admin-prohibited | icmp-echo-reply | icmp-host-prohibited | icmp-host-unreachable | icmp-net-prohibited | icmp-network-unreachable | icmp-port-unreachable | icmp-protocol-unreachable | tcp-reset | integer) - alters the reply packet of reject action
routing-mark (name) - matches packets marked by mangle facility with particular routing mark
src-address (IP address/netmask | IP address-IP address) - specifies the address range an IP packet is originated from. Note that console converts entered address/netmask value to a valid network address, i.e.:1.1.1.1/24 is converted to 1.1.1.0/24
src-address-list (name) - matches source address of a packet against user-defined address list
src-address-type (unicast | local | broadcast | multicast) - matches source address type of the IP packet, one of the:
unicast - IP addresses used for one point to another point transmission. There is only one sender and one receiver in this case
local - matches addresses assigned to router's interfaces
broadcast - the IP packet is sent from one point to all other points in the IP subnetwork
multicast - this type of IP addressing is responsible for transmission from one or more points to a set of other points
local - matches addresses assigned to router's interfaces
broadcast - the IP packet is sent from one point to all other points in the IP subnetwork
multicast - this type of IP addressing is responsible for transmission from one or more points to a set of other points
src-mac-address (MAC address) - source MAC address
src-port (integer: 0..65535-integer: 0..65535{*}) - source port number or range
tcp-flags (ack | cwr | ece | fin | psh | rst | syn | urg) - tcp flags to match
ack - acknowledging data
cwr - congestion window reduced
ece - ECN-echo flag (explicit congestion notification)
fin - close connection
psh - push function
rst - drop connection
syn - new connection
urg - urgent data
cwr - congestion window reduced
ece - ECN-echo flag (explicit congestion notification)
fin - close connection
psh - push function
rst - drop connection
syn - new connection
urg - urgent data
tcp-mss (integer: 0..65535) - matches TCP MSS value of an IP packet
time (time-time,sat | fri | thu | wed | tue | mon | sun{+}) - allows to create filter based on the packets' arrival time and date or, for locally generated packets, departure time and date
tos (max-reliability | max-throughput | min-cost | min-delay | normal) - specifies a match for the value of Type of Service (ToS) field of an IP header
max-reliability - maximize reliability (ToS=4)
max-throughput - maximize throughput (ToS=8)
min-cost - minimize monetary cost (ToS=2)
min-delay - minimize delay (ToS=16)
normal - normal service (ToS=0)
max-throughput - maximize throughput (ToS=8)
min-cost - minimize monetary cost (ToS=2)
min-delay - minimize delay (ToS=16)
normal - normal service (ToS=0)
