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.

• Free Public NTP stratum-2 time servers participating in the NTP Pool Project
  • Server Status

These NTP time servers can be used in "server" configuration lines in your ntp.conf. They are stratum-2 clock sources:

• • sanyalnet-ntp.freeddns.org
  • sanyalnet-cloud-vps.freeddns.org
  • sanyalnet-cloud-vps2.freeddns.org
• Free Public Ad+Malware+Ransomware Blocking Recursive DNS Servers
  • sanyalnet-cloud-vps.freeddns.org
  • sanyalnet-cloudvps2.freeddns.org
• Free Public Malware, Trojan, Botnet, C&C etc. Blocklists
  
  These blocklists can be used on your internet gateway routers and security firewalls. I use them with pfBlockerNG running on my pfSense virtual router/firewall/home internet security gateway.
  
  
  • malware IP blocklist
  • C&C trojan (Mirai etc.) IP blocklist
  • Advertising and Malware DNS domain blocklist (use with dnsmasq)
