ICMP Timestamp Request Remote Date Disclosure
Synopsis: It is possible to determine the exact time set on the remote host.
Description: The remote host answers to an ICMP timestamp request. This allows an attacker to know the date which is set on your machine. This may help him to defeat all your time based authentication protocols. Risk factor: None Solution: Filter out the ICMP timestamp requests (13), and the outgoing ICMP timestamp replies (14). Plugin output: This host returns non-standard timestamps (high bit is set) Plugin ID: 10114
