A Windows/Powershell port of Madaidan's secure-time-sync
To use the script, download it, and run it as an Administrator. If you run it as a Standard Windows user, it will self-elevate, and ask for permission to do so.
.\secure-time-sync.ps1
The script extracts the current UTC time from HTTP headers after connecting to a website.
The websites used are:
- Whonix
- DuckDuckGo
- The Tor Project
The -URL parameter can also be used to specify a custom website. For example:
.\secure-time-sync.ps1 -URL https://google.com
To sync time regularly, add the script to Task Scheduler. A setup script for this will be added in the future.
NTP is fundamentally insecure, and should be avoided; Madaidan's article explains why in more detail.
