Abstract

Our task within the DarkNet project was to test the cyber resiliency of the Center for Alternate Synchronization and Timing’s (CAST) framework. We focused our testing on two of the core pieces of CAST’s implementation, a Juniper MX204 router and the Precision Time Protocol (PTP). In this report, we cover the following attempted methods of attack on our targets: ping flood, fork bomb, network protocol fuzzing, ARP poisoning, and IGMP spoofing. We found that delaying certain packets, specifically Delay Request, had a significant impact on the Offset from Master and Observed Drift timing statistics.
