See my other post here, and the problems in the (third party) iOS NTP library "features" and its use.
There "createAssociations" in that library without any parameters contacts all the IPs behind the big domain list of the NTP servers!
And according to the forum every IP is contacted -- behind one server name there are 3-4 servers in the DNS in this case, I get 31 server! Real "distributed denial of service" attack.
- dan1234 10y agoJust to be clear, this is a 3rd party library not part of iOS itself.
- acqq 10y agoYes, thank you, the third party library that Snapchat used without even thinking what it does by using some (wrong!) defaults. I thought it was obvious from the links I've given. I've edited my posts to name it as such.
