This TrustedSec advisory documents forensic indicators and investigative steps for Citrix ADC/NetScaler CVE-2019-19781, describing how an unauthenticated directory-traversal RCE can be exploited to run commands as user nobody and install backdoors; it lists relevant FreeBSD log files (bash.log, sh.log, notice.log, httpaccess/httperror), suspicious HTTP request patterns, file locations (/netscaler/portal/templates, /var/tmp/netscaler/portal/templates), process signs (child httpd processes running shells/python), and suggests checking nobody's cron jobs and obtaining disk images, plus links to mitigation guidance.
