Using the Network Time Protocol, or NTP, computers at a remote location can set their clocks to the UTC provided by an NTP server at the main facility to ensure that all computer clocks are ...

NTP's job is to keep time and broadcast it so that clocks on all machines connected to a network are in synch. This matters for many reasons, among them consistency of log files – if every machine on ...

Sometime on the morning of April 3, Microsoft's Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers went haywire. At first, Microsoft's NTP server (time.windows.com) reported the time being an hour later than it ...

This is an example of the lengths to which Network Time Protocol aficionados will go in search of slightly better performance from their NTP servers.

Researchers at Boston University have published new attacks against the Network Time Protocol (NTP) that jeopardize the security of numerous online activities.

In this case it’s using the precise timekeeping abilities of the satellites to build a microsecond-accurate network time protocol (NTP) server.

NSFOCUS reports find that many administrators have patched vulnerable Network Time Protocol servers, though the risk of DDoS amplification attacks still remains.

Serious flaws have been discovered in NTP which can be exploited to cause wholesale destruction on a network -- because of a clock.

NTP servers help people synchronize their servers to very precise time increments. Recently, the protocol was found to suffer from a condition that could be exploited by DoS attackers.
