getting attachments out of MS Office files
|
|
Has anyone had any success in finding a consistant, reliable way of locating and
extracting attachments out of MS Office files?
I realise that this doesn't really fall into the true purpose of ripMIME, but
one thing is for certain, it's perhaps the most common way of sneaking files
past most filtering agents.
I have thus far located a consistant 'header' byte-sequence before each embedded
file from the 2nd embedment on, but I cannot as yet find a consistant header for
the first embedded file (Beats me why!)
Furthermore - due the BSD licence of ripMIME, it's not really possible to call
on GPL licenced code, mostly because I wish to embed the code and compile it
directly.
Ideas? Anyone with their hands near a MS OLE specification which is actually
human-readable?
Regards.
