Usage

Usage: olebrowse.py [file]

If you provide a file it will be opened, else a dialog will allow you to browse folders to open a file. Then if it is a valid OLE file, the list of data streams will be displayed. You can select a stream, and then either view its content in a builtin hexadecimal viewer, or save it to a file for further analysis.
