Re: WINDOWS XP NTP

[John Galt <galt () inconnu isu edu>]

locutus#ntptrace time.windows.com
time.windows.com: stratum 2, offset 0.002825, synch distance 0.06490
time.nist.gov: stratum 1, offset 0.004652, synch distance 0.00000, refid 'ACTS'

Locutus is most definitely not a windows XP box :)

I'm still guessing that any and all NTP 'sploits are prefectly valid for
Win XP, and even more so, since there is a default attack vector.  You can
get substantial coverage with a script that forges an NTP packet from
time.windows.com (207.46.228.33 according to my dig, but it's
non-authoritative...)  The fun part is they're .60 seconds off NIST:
pathetic for a stratum 2.
