NTP users are strongly urged to take immediate action to ensure that their NTP daemons are not susceptible to being used in distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Please also take this opportunity to defeat denial-of-service attacks by implementing Ingress and Egress filtering through BCP38.

ntp-4.2.8p15 was released on 23 June 2020. It addresses 1 medium-severity security issue in ntpd, and provides 13 non-security bugfixes over 4.2.8p13.

Please see the NTP Security Notice for vulnerability and mitigation details.

Student Application Template

Please see Google Summer Of Code Student Application Template for the Student Application Template.

Project Ideas

Please see GSoCProjectIdeas for some NTP-related GSoC project ideas.

Feel free to add more ideas!

If you are a student who would like to work on a project (either one you see here or one you think of), please speak up! It would help if we could see what sort of work you can do. An easy way to show us is to find an open bug report, fix it, and submit the patch. There are project developers who are happy to work with you and help you to do this.

GSoC 2009 comments

hi all,

this is Kapila , from Sri Lanka, regrading the Gnu AutoGen project proposal. this is about what came in to my mind when i studying the project. we want to generate different document formats for same code base. so can we do it in this way. we let programmer who write source code to decide out put format and we can have interpreter which read the source code and analyze the source using it's key words and other language specific features and using these as a parameters we can produce unique documents in different format . simple example is job of a translator , he know many languages so he convert one language in to many , i like to here form you what you think about this.

Kapila, there is more information at GSoC2008doc. AutoGen currently supports .texi tags, and we want to eventually support .man, .mandoc, .pod, and perhaps some others. If properly designed, once we support .texi and .man we'll have enough done that we can implement our documentation, and adding the other target formats should be much easier.

-- HarlanStenn - 20 Mar 2009

Last year i worked on this project and this project is not as simple as it seems. AutoGen is made in such way that it needs a major changes to to add the functionality,as writing some code in perl instead of used sed script. The manual pages generated by AutoGen are not so flexible.

Hi Rahul,

You are absolutely correct, and you and I learned a lot about the very many ways that this project is made up of many pieces. This project seems simple, but the implementation stages need to be documented and planned, and we need to choose carefully what steps need to be implemented, and the different ways they could be implemented, in order to get a "usable core" out of it. This project is one that will eventually take a fair amount of work to get fully completed.

-- HarlanStenn - 21 Mar 2009

Thanks Rahul and Harlan for the views. According to these information , first thing we don't want to reinvent the wheel . Out come won't be a good user friendly package if it differs from existing design since users has to change or learn. To achieve this we should have clear understanding of existing code base to integrate new feature. so this should be new plug-in for existing package and it should make it more worth wile with out making it hazard to users. am i correct?

I have a brownie point available to the first person to identify the timekeeping error on the timeline for GSoC2009 page. :) Thanks for your interest in the NTP Forum's Google Summer of Code 2009.

-- DaveHart - 23 Mar 2009

Is it that "March 9: ~12 noon PST / 19:00 UTC" mentions a "PST" time instead of a "PDT" time even though daylight savings time in the U.S. started on March 8 this year?

-- BreckBeatie - 23 Mar 2009

Yes, in fact I had it wrong when I asked the question. I did not realize they got the date of transition wrong (good eye), what I caught was the consistent offset from UTC across (apparently) the transition. Good job.

-- DaveHart - 24 Mar 2009

Hello,

I am an interested candidate for GSoC . I was going through the list of ideas, and came across the problem of updating NTPQ, as one of the ideas. Can you please provide more information on this? All I can gather is that it is related to IPv6 packets and their display. So, I assume the time synch messages sent as IP packets, and the problem is to display the 128-bit source and destination IPv6 addresses? Also, where does the authentication information come from?

Thanks, Smita

Hi Everyone,

My name is Anthony, and I've proposed a hardware/firmware/software project.. I would like to get the NTP community helping me and involved with the development of a high-throughput (Gig-E linerate), low jitter (only 8ns max) stratum-1 NTP server. This is similar to a project described here: http://www2.nict.go.jp/w/w114/tsp/publication/PDF/f-poster1-ptb-bipm.pdf , however my implementation doesn't require a host PC and is designed to be low-cost and low-power. I've already verified some firmware (timestamping and ARP+NTP datapath) on a prototyping board, and have fabricated an initial prototype PCB. So the project would consist of porting existing work to opensource languages and tools, fixing problems in the first prototype, and implementing a management interface so changes don't require re-synthesis of firmware. I would very much like to hear of any questions or comments..

Thanks, Anthony
