          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.
