time.mymilo.top - a NTP / NTS server You may use the data to compare to your own server. I’m curious of the accuracy of this server, what is normal numbers? Also Im interested in NTS and NTS pool. What does the future holds? @Bas

[image] Bas: How? This is UDP, not TCP. You can not stop UDP as they have no resend mechanism. So you need to intercept ALL UDP, manipulate them and resend them to the clients. You haven’t understood how a man-in-the-middle attack works. I don’t need to send or resend anything and the protoc…

Yeah I know the draft :wink: If you think the hurdle is low to trust someone with a working email, look at “Let’s encrypt”…No email required, just be reachable under your chosen DNS name. The purpose of pool NTS and the whole “every website must be encrypted” is just to have the assurance that all…

[image] errolt: So my conclusion is that ntps, for the home user, isn’t worth the processing capacity required. A lot of these arguments closely mirror the debate about “https everywhere” — it’s too expensive, it’s too hard to deploy, it’s misguided to do it except for systems that really nee…

[image] grifferz: put almost every web site behind HTTPS even when it has no login functionality Login functionality is not the only use case where HTTPS makes sense. Some WLAN hotspots, e.g., in hotels, have been known to inject additional stuff into web pages accessed via plain HTTP, which …

[image] grifferz: having on-site stratum 0 clock Even with on-site stratum 0, depending on requirements, one might even want to add NTS between stratum 1 servers and clients, or secondary servers, which are all “local” (e.g., in the same network, in same administrative domain, in the same dat…

[image] grifferz: people will continue to work on making NTS deployable Consider Ubuntu NTS-enabling their own NTP pool system .

Seen that too. Have been playing with NTS yesterday to understand what happens if you ask NTS but it’s not there. Then you get no time at all and the server is ignored. That makes me wonder how Ubuntu is going to do it, as the pool doesn’t support it. Do they make their own pool? Did they make a…

[image] grifferz: it’s too expensive, it’s too hard to deploy, it’s misguided to do it except for systems that really need it such as those that deal with financial transactions, etc. I was expecting a responselike this. Did you read my post regarding the number of ntp replies my ntp applianc…

[image] Bas: Sorry to say, but this guy is a moron. If you’re sorry to say it, then don’t. There are more appropriate words to express your opinion.

[image] errolt: Did you read my post regarding the number of ntp replies my ntp appliance can handle vs the number of nts replies it can handle? The extra load is not insignificant. Interesting, wheres the post?
