Today, I would like to talk about PowerShell ISE or&#;x26;#;xc2;&#;x26;#;xa0;”Integration Scripting Environment”&#;x26;#;x5b;1&#;x26;#;x5d;. This tool&#;x26;#;xc2;&#;x26;#;xa0;is installed by default on all Windows computers (besides the classic PowerShell interpreter). From a malware analysis point of view, ISE offers a key feature: an interactive debugger&#;x26;#;x21; It&#;x26;#;xc2;&#;x26;#;xa0;provides all the classic features that you can expect from a debugger: breakpoints, step in, step over, step out, … all of these features are available while you keep control of the environment to interact with the script through the help of&#;x26;#;xc2;&#;x26;#;xa0;other PowerShell commands.

A Mix of Python & VBA in a Malicious Word Document, (Fri, Sep 18th)

A few days ago, Didier wrote an interesting&#;x26;#;xc2;&#;x26;#;xa0;diary about embedded objects into an Office document&#;x26;#;x5b;1&#;x26;#;x5d;. I had a discussion about an interesting OLE file that I found. Because it used the same technique, I let Didier publish his diary first. Now, let&#;x26;#;39;s have a look at the document.
