Alejandro Hdez (@nitr0usmx) recently tweeted about a trivial buffer overflow in ntpdc, a deprecated NTP query tool still available and packaged with any NTP install. He posted a screenshot of the crash as the result of a large buffer passed into a vulnerable gets call. After digging into it a bit, I decided it'd be a fun exploit to write, and it was. There are a few quarks to it that make it of particular interest, of which I've detailed below.
