Since version 0.32, OleFileIO_PL comes with experimental write features. For now it is possible to write sectors, and to write over an existing stream. More features will be added over time.

This article presents several new open source frameworks meant to simplify static file scanning for malware analysis and incident response: MASTIFF, Viper, IRMA and a few others. Their goal is to provide an extensible framework to integrate many existing scanning tools.

Balbuzard is a package of malware analysis tools in python to extract patterns from suspicious files (IP addresses, domain names, known file headers, interesting strings, etc). It can also crack malware obfuscation such as XOR, ROL, etc by bruteforcing and checking for those patterns.

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) and RTF, which is especially useful for malware analysis. It is part of the oletools package. pyxswf is an extension of xxxswf.py published by Alexander Hanel.

rtfobj is a Python module to extract embedded objects from RTF files, such as OLE ojects. It can be used as a Python library or a command-line tool. It is part of the oletools package. 

oleid is a script to analyze OLE files such as MS Office documents (e.g. Word, Excel), to detect specific characteristics that could potentially indicate that the file is suspicious or malicious, in terms of security (e.g. malware). For example it can detect VBA macros, embedded Flash objects, fragmentation. It is part of the oletools package. 

olebrowse is a simple GUI to browse OLE files (e.g. MS Word, Excel, Powerpoint documents), to view and extract individual data streams. It is part of the oletools package.

pywordform is a python module to parse Microsoft Word forms in docx format, and extract all field values with their tags into a python dictionary.

CherryProxy is a simple HTTP proxy written in Python 2.x, based on the CherryPy WSGI server and httplib, extensible for content analysis and filtering.

tempfilemgr is a Python 2.x module to easily create temporary files and directories, and to make sure that all of them are deleted after use. It adds several useful features to the standard tempfile module.
