Hi The following would probably be illegal so do not actually do this. But what if... there are just 4 billion IPv4 addresses. Scanning that address-space for open NTP is trivially done in a few hours. Abusing these servers for reflection attack is as trivial, hence the problem. How can we get the responsible parties to fix their NTP servers? Answer: DDoS them. With their own service.
