📖 Usage
fixtime -i <target-ip> # Sync time with AD server
fixtime -i <target-ip> --force # Force sync (bypass 5-min tolerance)
fixtime --restore # Restore NTP service
fixtime -h # Show help
Options:
-i IP- Target Active Directory server IP--force- Force sync even if within Kerberos tolerance--restore- Re-enable NTP service-h- Display help
🎯 Common Use Cases
- Fix Kerberos errors:
KDC_ERR_CLOCK_SKEW, "Clock skew too great" - Before AD penetration testing: Sync time with DC before using Impacket, BloodHound, etc.
- Force sync: When offset exceeds 5 minutes
- Cleanup: Restore NTP after engagement
