A New Type Of Malicious Document: XML

Filed under: Malware,My Software — Didier Stevens @ 9:08

Since last week we see XML documents being spammed: they are actually Microsoft Word documents with VBA Macros.

I wrote an ISC Diary entry (I’m a SANS ISC Handler now) detailing the internals of these XML files.

oledump is updated to parse these XML documents.

  3. Great work…as always. I am wondering since we don’t have access to clipboardTransformer how could copy the hex data and uncompress it?
