My scripts to access OpenWRT routers easily

We have moved to https://codeberg.org/KOLANICH-tools/openwrt_scripts, grab new versions there.

Under the disguise of "better security" Micro$oft-owned GitHub has discriminated users of 1FA passwords while having commercial interest in success of FIDO 1FA specifications and Windows Hello implementation which it promotes as a replacement for passwords. It will result in dire consequencies and is competely inacceptable, read why.

If you don't want to participate in harming yourself, it is recommended to follow the lead and migrate somewhere away of GitHub and Micro$oft. Here is the list of alternatives and rationales to do it. If they delete the discussion, there are certain well-known places where you can get a copy of it. Read why you should also leave GitHub.


  • your_config.sh - variable about YOUR router.

  • backup_config.sh - backups /etc/config

  • backup_overlay.sh - backups whole /overlay/upper

  • connect_uart.sh - connects to a router via UART

  • grab_diag.sh - Grabs information needed for diagnostics of network issues

  • start_wireshark.sh - Starts tcpdump on router and WireShark locally and pipes tcpdump output to WireShark via SSH

A script for MTD backup can be grabbed from https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/installation/generic.backup
