Setting Date to January 1, 1970 Can Permanently Brick Your iOS Device
- xkcd-sucks 11y agosounds like a great application for DNS spoofing pool.ntp.org to a local server that always responds with 1 Jan 1970 unless ios devices get their time from cell networks or whatever
- whoopdedo 11y agoThat would be time.apple.com. DHCP can respond with a time server. Would iOS use this to connect to the advertised NTP?
- banana_giraffe 11y agoIf it did, the NTP client would ignore anything more than 1000s off from the local clock.
