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 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.
