Crypto-NAK packets can be used to cause ntpd to accept time from unauthenticated ephemeral symmetric peers by bypassing the authentication required to mobilize peer associations. This Metasploit module sends these Crypto-NAK packets in order to establish an association between the target ntpd instance and the attacking client. The end goal is to cause ntpd to declare the legitimate peers "false tickers" and choose the attacking clients as the preferred peers, allowing these peers to control time.

Cisco Security Advisory - Multiple Cisco products incorporate a version of the ntpd package. Versions of this package are affected by one or more vulnerabilities that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to create a denial of service (DoS) condition or modify the time being advertised by a device acting as a network time protocol (NTP) server. On October 21st, 2015, NTP.org released a security advisory detailing 13 issues regarding multiple DoS vulnerabilities, information disclosure vulnerabilities, and logic issues that may result in an attacker gaining the ability to modify an NTP server's advertised time.
