项目说明

python-oletools
===============
![PyPI]()
![Build Status]()
![Say Thanks!]()

oletools is a package of python tools to analyze
Microsoft OLE2 files
(also called Structured Storage, Compound File Binary Format or Compound Document File Format),
such as Microsoft Office 97-2003 documents, MSI files or Outlook messages, mainly for malware analysis,
forensics and debugging.
It is based on the olefile parser.

It also provides tools to analyze RTF files and files based on the OpenXML format
(aka OOXML) such as MS Office 2007+ documents, XPS or MSIX files.

For example, oletools can detect, extract and analyse , OLE objects, Excel 4 macros (XLM) and DDE links.

Download and Install:
---------------------

The recommended way to download and install/update the latest stable release
of oletools is to use pip:

On Linux/Mac: sudo -H pip install -U oletools[full]

On Windows: pip install -U oletools[full]

This should automatically create command-line scripts to run each tool from
any directory: olevba, mraptor, rtfobj, etc.

The keyword [full] means that all optional dependencies will be installed, such as XLMMacroDeobfuscator.
If you prefer a lighter without optional dependencies, just remove [full] from the command line.

To get the latest de instead:

On Linux/Mac: sudo -H pip install -U

On Windows: pip install -U

See the documentation
for other installation options.
