OLE

A set of OLE parsers and tools to deal with OLE files.

Requirements

• Rust 1.56+ (edition: 2021)

Tools

• OleId : A tool to analyze OLE files such as MS Office documents (e.g. Word, Excel), to detect specific characteristics that could potentially indicate that the file is suspicious or malicious, in terms of security (e.g. malware).
• OleObj : A tool to parse OLE objects and files stored into various MS Office file formats (doc, xls, ppt, docx, xlsx, pptx, etc).
• Ole-Common : A crate that reads and parses OLE files.

1. OleId

This is a tool to analyze MS Office documents(eg. Word, Excel) to detect specific characteristics common in malicious files.

CLI Usage

oleid [options] <filename> 

Options

--file: The filepath to the file to process.

Library Usage

use oleid::oleid::OleId;

pub fn main() {
  let mut oleid = OleId::new(file_path);
  let indicators = oleid.check();
  println!("{:#?}", indicators);
}

2.OleObj

This is a tool to parse OLE objects and files stored into various MS Office file formats (doc, xls, ppt, docx, xlsx, pptx, etc).

Usage

oleobj [options] <filename> 

Options

--file: The filepath to the file to process.

3. Ole-Common

Example Usage

• add dependency (default feature is to use async)

[dependencies]
ole-common = { git = "https://github.com/marirs/ole-rs.git", branch = "master" }

• example code

use ole::OleFile;

fn main() {
    let file = "data/oledoc1.doc_";
    let res = OleFile::from_file(file).await.expect("file not found");
    println!("{:#?}", &res);
    println!("entries: {:#?}", res.list_streams());
}

• dependency with blocking

[dependencies]
ole-common = { git = "https://github.com/marirs/ole-rs.git", branch = "master", default-features = false, features = ["blocking"] }

• example code

use ole::OleFile;

fn main() {
    let file = "data/oledoc1.doc_";
    let res = OleFile::from_file_blocking(file).expect("file not found");
    println!("{:#?}", &res);
    println!("entries: {:#?}", res.list_streams());
}

• Running the Example Code

cargo r --example ole_cli --features="blocking" data/oledoc1.doc_
