Tool 180: SNTP client obtaining time

Description:

  This tool queries a NTP/SNTP server in order to obtain time.
  We use SNTP because it is sufficient for requesting time.
  Displayed time is value of field Transmit_Timestamp from server,
  without adding the trip delay from server to client. So time is not
  really accurate, but it should be sufficient for most usages.
  Then, it can be used to set local clock (for example, under Unix,
  "date --set result_of_netwox_180_-u").
  
  Parameter --dst-ip is the address of remote host/server.
  Parameter --dst-port is the port number where to connect.
  Optional parameter --src-ip defines the local IP address to use.
  Optional parameter --src-port defines the local port number to use.
  Optional parameter --ip4opts permits to add IP4 options encoded as
  mixed.
  Optional parameter --ip6exts permits to add IP6 options encoded as
  mixed (first byte is the next header number).
  Optional parameters --device, --src-eth and --dst-eth permits to
  create a virtual client using fake addresses (in this case, tool have
  to be run with admin privilege in order to sniff and spoof at
  Ethernet level).
  
  Set --src-port to a random value greater than 1024 to use it
  without admin privilege.
