EVIL HARDWARE

According to Harrigan and Kelley, the hardware needed to execute this attack
is little more than a common ( https://www.raspberrypi.org/ ) device with
some custom software.

"By spoofing time.apple.com, we were able to roll back the time and have it
hand out to all Apple clients on the network," the researchers wrote in a
paper shared with KrebsOnSecurity. "All test devices took the update without
question and rolled back to 1970."
