olevba

Parse OLE and OpenXML files (e.g., DOC, XLS, PPT, etc.) to extract VBA macros, deobfuscate, and analyze malicious code. Part of the python-oletools suite. More information: https://github.com/decalage2/oletools.

• Analyze a file, showing both macro code and analysis results:

olevba {{path/to/file}}

• Recursively analyze all supported files in a directory:

olevba -r {{path/to/directory}}

• Provide a password for encrypted Microsoft Office files (may be repeated):

olevba {{[-p|--password]}} {{password}} {{path/to/encrypted_file}}

• Display only analysis results, without showing macro source code:

olevba {{[-a|--analysis]}} {{path/to/file}}

• Display only macro source code:

olevba {{[-c|--code]}} {{path/to/file}}

• Show obfuscated strings and their decoded content:

olevba --decode {{path/to/file}}
