Description

This module identifies NTP servers which permit "PEER_LIST" queries and
return responses that are larger in size or greater in quantity than
the request, allowing remote attackers to cause a distributed, reflected
denial of service (aka, "DRDoS" or traffic amplification) via spoofed
requests.
