Description

This module takes a Citrix NetScaler ns.conf configuration file as
input and extracts secrets that have been stored with reversible
encryption. The module supports legacy NetScaler encryption (RC4)
as well as the newer AES-256-ECB and AES-256-CBC encryption types.
It is also possible to decrypt secrets protected by the Key
Encryption Key (KEK) method, provided the key fragment files F1.key
and F2.key are provided.
