Cyberdefenders – XLM Macros writeup

Recently, we have seen a resurgence of Excel-based malicous office documents. Howerver, instead of using VBA-style macros, they are using older style Excel 4 macros. This changes our approach to analyzing these documents, requiring a slightly different set of tools. In this challenge, you’ll get hands-on with two documents that use Excel 4.0 macros to perform anti-analysis and download the next stage of the attack.

  • Sample2: MD5: b5d469a07709b5ca6fee934b1e5e8e38

Helpful Tools:

  • REMnux VM
