TLS versions 1.2 and earlier define a 4-byte gmt_unix_time field as
part of the 32-byte ClientHello random data block, as a (minimal) form
of protection against a broken random number generator. iPXE has
never set this field to a correct value. Early versions had only
relative timers and so set this field to zero. Commit 5da7123 ("[tls]
Include current time within the client random bytes") did set this
field to the current time, but neglected to use the correct byte
ordering.
TLS version 1.3 (defined in RFC 8446) omits the gmt_unix_time field
completely and just defines the whole 32-byte value as random data.
Simplify the code by using the approach defined in RFC 8446.

iPXE network bootloader
iPXE is the leading open source network boot firmware. It provides a full PXE implementation enhanced with additional features such as:
-
boot from a web server via HTTP or HTTPS,
-
boot from an iSCSI, FCoE, or AoE SAN,
-
control the boot process with a script,
You can use iPXE to replace the existing PXE ROM on your network card, or you can chainload into iPXE to obtain the features of iPXE without the hassle of reflashing.
iPXE is free, open-source software licensed under the GNU GPL (with some portions under GPL-compatible licences).
You can download the rolling release binaries (built from the latest commit), or use the most recent stable release.
