Simple DDE object detector

DDEtect

Written by Amit Serper, @0xAmit DDEtector is a simple DDE object detector written in python

• Currently supports only word DOCX and legacy DOC files
• Prints the contents of the DDE payloads (Note: In some cases DDEtect won't print the entire DDE payload. I'm working on writing a better matching algorithm)
• More features coming soon...

Notes

This was done quick-n-dirty. I'm sure that there is a better and more elegant way of doing everything in here but I wasn't giving it a lot of thought. Constructive feedback is always welcome, twitter is the best way of contacting me. This is a work in progress...

Running DDEtector

Execute the python file and supply a path to a docx file as an argument. Use the -d argument for a regular doc file or -x for a docx file: DDEtector requires the following python modules:

• zipfile
• xmltodict
• nested_lookup
• re
• argparse

Todos

• Format autodetection
• Support other office formats (ie. excel)
