I have this old TP-Link smart lightbulb, it’s the only thing that’s IoT and on WiFi in my house.

Looking through pfBlocker logs for fun, and noticed it’s been trying to connect to the Tor network.

Oh! Also, it’s been uploading and downloading 100+ MB of data a day.

NTP is an unencrypted protocol, so tshark or Wireshark will have no problem telling you all about it.

Wait, it is? Pretty sure chrony.conf has some auth stuff in it.
