Blackhat Amsterdam 2012 : ToolsTube with James Forshaw on CANAPE v1.0

Citrix ICA is a complex multi-layered protocol which uses multiplexed frames, compression and encryption over a single TCP connection. Rather than creating a complete bespoke program to proxy and manipulate the traffic, CANAPE can be used to provide the networking, parsing and fuzzing infrastructure to significantly reduce development effort.
