pyxswf
pyxswf is a script to detect, extract and analyze Flash objects (SWF files) that may be embedded in files such as MS Office documents (e.g. Word, Excel), which is especially useful for malware analysis.
It is part of the python-oletools package.
pyxswf is an extension to xxxswf.py published by Alexander Hanel.
Compared to xxxswf, it can extract streams from MS Office documents by parsing their OLE structure properly, which is necessary when streams are fragmented. Stream fragmentation is a known obfuscation technique, as explained on http://www.breakingpointsystems.com/resources/blog/evasion-with-ole2-fragmentation/
It can also extract Flash objects from RTF documents, by parsing embedded objects encoded in hexadecimal format (-f option).
For this, simply add the -o option to work on OLE streams rather than raw files, or the -f option to work on RTF files.
Usage: pyxswf [options] <file.bad>
Options:
-o, --ole Parse an OLE file (e.g. Word, Excel) to look for SWF
in each stream
-f, --rtf Parse an RTF file to look for SWF in each embedded
object
-x, --extract Extracts the embedded SWF(s), names it MD5HASH.swf &
saves it in the working dir. No addition args needed
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-y, --yara Scans the SWF(s) with yara. If the SWF(s) is
compressed it will be deflated. No addition args
needed
-s, --md5scan Scans the SWF(s) for MD5 signatures. Please see func
checkMD5 to define hashes. No addition args needed
-H, --header Displays the SWFs file header. No addition args needed
-d, --decompress Deflates compressed SWFS(s)
-r PATH, --recdir=PATH
Will recursively scan a directory for files that
contain SWFs. Must provide path in quotes
-c, --compress Compresses the SWF using Zlib
