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 VBA macros, OLE -objects, Excel 4 macros (XLM) and DDE links.

+The recommended way to download and install/update the latest stable release of oletools is to use pip:
sudo -H pip install -U oletools[full]sudo -H pip install -U oletools[full]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
-version without optional dependencies, just remove [full]
-from the command line.
