RE: Pen test, tcp/1404 found - advice needed

As stated on a prior post - get some training
 
People who try to pass as being capable of doing something they can not and who do not seek to remidy this are one of the major issues in the security industry. Start learning, start acting professionally and stop the generally unprofesional attitudes to the field of enterprise you profess to have the requisite knowledge.
 
The nomenclature "Sekurity Wizard" does nothing to help your case. If you think I am being mean, welcome to the real world. The attidutes of pseudo professionals with "no clue" harm the clients they profess to aid, the profession I love and society as a whole.
 
If you wish to learn I support your enterprise wholeheartedly. The issue is that you need to learn the job prior to doing it. Who would feel ok having a physician who had not completed university operate on them? The same applies where - learn first, than operate.

        SOCAT results are below:
        
        <results>
        
        ICA
        ICA
        ICA
        
        </results>
        
        That ICA is repeated every 10 seconds or so, of after a carriage return
        into the port. Obviously it's a Citrix ICA box - the problem is how to
        get it to do my bidding...

        Use your level 45 remote service enumeration spell! Be careful, as you
        wouldn't want your spell to trigger a recasting of "Perimeter ACL
        Blast". Unless of course you have learned the always handy "Unholy
        0-day of Reckoning"; hell, that has its caveats. Of course, being a
        Sekurity Wizard, you know all of this already, as opposed to a lowly
        mage such as myself.
        
        If all else fails, you may heed the guidance that the others have
        provided. I hasten to suggest usage of a network fuzzer but none the
        less you may try it.
        
        Another possible solution (using socat), this will only read the first
        1000 bytes of output.
