OFFICE DOCUMENTS

Word & Excel Delivery Loaders

Technical Overview

Microsoft Office documents remain the primary loader for initial access in red team engagements. We provide comprehensive support for both legacy (OLE) and modern (OpenXML) formats.

Supported Formats

  • Legacy: .DOC, .XLS (OLE Structured Storage)
  • Modern: .DOCX, .XLSX (OpenXML with Template Injection)
  • Macro-Enabled: .DOCM, .XLSM (VBA Stomping & Obfuscation)

Key Mechanisms

  • VBA Stomping: Modifying the P-code to bypass static analysis while retaining execution.
  • Template Injection: Loading remote payloads via trusted relationship targets in .DOCX/.XLSX.
  • DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange): Execution via legacy command protocols without macros.

Red Team Advantages

  • Universal Trust Office documents are standard business communication tools, rarely blocked by edge filters.
  • Versatile Execution From native Macros to zero-code template injections.
