In diary entry "Maldoc Strings Analysis" I show how to analyze a malicious document, by extracting and decoding strings with command-line tools.

In this video, I analyze the same malicious Word document, using CyberChef only. This is possible, because this particular maldoc contains a very long string with the payload, and this string can be extracted without parsing the structure of this .doc file.

I pasted the recipe on pastebin here.
