OfficeDissector

OfficeDissector is a parser library for static security analysis of Office Open XML (OOXML) Documents, created by Grier Forensics for the Cyber System Assessments Group at MIT's Lincoln Laboratory.

OfficeDissector is the first parser designed specifically for security analysis of OOXML documents. It exposes all internals, including document properties, parts, content-type, relationships, embedded macros and multimedia, and comments, and more. It provides full JSON export, and a MASTIFF based plugin architecture. It also includes a nearly 600 MB test corpus, unit tests with nearly 100% coverage, smoke tests running against the entire corpus, and simple, well factored, fully commented code

Install

OfficeDissector requires Python 2.7 and the lxml package.

The easiest way to install OfficeDissector is to use pip to automatically download and install it:

$ sudo pip install lxml # If you haven't installed lxml already
$ sudo pip install officedissector

Alternatively, you can download OfficeDissector from github or as a zip, and install your local copy, using either pip (recommended) or python setup:

$ sudo pip install /path/to/thisfolder # Recommended, as pip supports uninstall
$ sudo python setup.py install # Alternative

Finally, to use OfficeDissector without installing it, download it and set the PYTHONPATH to the officedissector directory:

$ export PYTHONPATH=/path/to/thisfolder

Documentation

To view OfficeDissector documentation, open in a browser:

$ doc/html/index.html

Testing

To test, first set PYTHONPATH or install officedissector as described above. Then:

# Unit tests
$ cd test/unit_test
$ python test_officedissector.py

# Smoke tests
$ cd test
$ python smoke_tests.py

The smoke tests will create log files with more information about them.

MASTIFF Plugins

To find more information about the MASTIFF architecture and sample plugins, see mastiff-plugins/README.txt.

Usage

Below is an ipython session demonstrating usage of OfficeDissector:

$ ipython
In [1]: import officedissector
In [2]: doc = officedissector.doc.Document('test/fraunhoferlibrary/Artikel.docx')
In [4]: doc.is_macro_enabled
Out[4]: False

In [5]: doc.is_template
Out[5]: False

In [6]: mp = doc.main_part()
In [7]: mp.content_type()
Out[7]: 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document.main+xml'

In [9]: mp.name
Out[9]: '/word/document.xml'

In [10]: mp.content_type()
Out[10]: 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document.main+xml'

# We can read the part's stream of data:
In [17]: mp.stream().read(200)
Out[17]: '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>\r\n<w:document xmlns:wpc="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2010/wordprocessingCanvas" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-c'

# Or use XPath to parse it:
In [33]: t = mp.xpath('//w:t', {'w': "http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main"})
In [37]: t[2].text
Out[37]: u'Das vorliegende Dokument ist ein Beispiel f\xfcr einen zur Publikation in einer Zeitschrift vorgesehenen Artikel. Es verwendet f\xfcr Autor und Titel in den Dokumenteigenschaften festgelegte Eintr\xe4ge.'

# All Relationships in and out are exposed:
In [38]: mp.relationships_in()
Out[38]: [Relationship [rId1] (source Part [RootPart])]

In [39]: mp.relationships_out()

 Relationship [rId13] (source Part [/word/document.xml]),
 Relationship [rId3] (source Part [/word/document.xml]),
 ...

In [40]: rel = mp.relationships_out()[0]
In [43]: rel.type
Out[43]: 'http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships/endnotes'

In [46]: endnotes = rel.target_part
In [48]: endnotes.content_type()
Out[48]: 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.endnotes+xml'

# Any Part (or the entire Document) can be exported to JSON:
In [50]: print endnotes.to_json()
