Title: NTP server misuse and abuse Authors: Venue: Wikipedia Year: unknown Canonical: wiki:ntp-server-misuse-and-abuse URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTP_server_misuse_and_abuse Collector: wikipedia OA: true ABSTRACT Misuse of a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server ranges from flooding it with traffic or violating the server's access policy or the NTP rules of engagement. One incident was branded NTP vandalism in an open letter from Poul-Henning Kamp to the router manufacturer D-Link in 2006. This term has later been extended by others to retroactively include other incidents. There is, however, no evidence that any of these problems are deliberate vandalism. They are more usually caused by shortsighted or poorly chosen default configurations.
