ntpMerlin ntpMerlin - NTP Daemon for AsusWRT Merlin

[EmeraldDeer]

Any willing testers? https://github.com/jackyaz/ntpMerlin/pull/34

Switched to develop branch and running 2.5.0 with no issues.
Using 12 hour mode.
Perhaps I will try toggling from jffs to usb.

Hi Jack
is the info below of relevance? I have suricata enabled with the emerging-dos.rules file and I have had 8 of these hits in last 2 weeks

05/06/2020-19:55:28.567786  [**] [1:2017919:2] ET DOS Possible NTP DDoS Inbound Frequent Un-Authed MON_LIST Requests IMPL 0x03 [**] [Classification: Attempted Denial of Service] [Priority: 2] {UDP} 185.94.111.1:45551 -> 321.033.88.231:123

To protect Network Time Protocol server it is necessary to update it to NTP 4.2.7, a version that has excluded the support of ‘monlist’ query substituted by a new safe ‘mrunlist’ function which uses a nonce value ensuring that received IP address match the actual requester.in last 2

“If upgrading is not an option, you can start the NTP daemon with noquery enabled in the NTP conf file. This will disable access to mode 6 and 7 query packetts (which includes monlist). “

Hi, happy to hav a go, but please give me some hints for dummies. I have a previous version that has been running just fine that I would have to update. Presumably I need to run
/usr/sbin/curl --retry 3 "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jackyaz/ntpMerlin/develop/ntpmerlin.sh" -o "/jffs/scripts/ntpmerlin" && chmod 0755 /jffs/scripts/ntpmerlin && /jffs/scripts/ntpmerlin install
Do I need to change install to update perhaps too?

all appears to be working for me

If you run

 ntpmerlin develop

the script will download from the develop branch

sophisticated commands streamlined right to your ntpmerlin @Slawek P courtesy of @Jack Yaz

That's awesome, next time i don't have to nano into it and change the branch.

That's why I added them! While it's a quick change in nano, I was lazy and bored of doing it. There must be a better a way! I thought

Wait it's that easy I didn't need to nano in and change the branch to develop from master?

On my scripts (I think it's in all of them now, anyway), yes!

I think it is better this way jack, because you get to streamline it to testers faster. brilliant.

Oh yes. Writing to jffs was tickling an old 2.6 bug on my N66U and causing reboots every day or so. I was working around it with a symlink but this is much better.

Many thanks for this

@Jack Yaz Great update - works like a charm on AX-88U, switched to USB disk of course. Keeping it. Thanks Jack.

after the latest update, my ntpmerlin webUI page is gone...

 

[JemTheWire]

Obvious question, have you tried a reboot?

yes.
then they all disappeared.
new reboot, all back except ntpmerlin

 

[JemTheWire]

Sorry about that. I had to ask. When I 'loose' a menu, a reboot usually sorts it.

'ntpmerlin startup' brought it back
