Hey there. Welcome to Pluralsight. In this cybersecurity tools
course, you'll learn how to hide malicious payloads into legitimate
Office files using the macro_pack tool.
One way to really increase your chance of a successful
phishing attack is masquerading malicious code into files
that look legitimate to the victim.
The macro_pack is a tool that help us to hide malicious payloads into
Microsoft Office files, such as Word documents and Excel spreadsheets.
In this way, our victims will not suspect about the email attachment
and more likely will open it.
In this course,
you'll learn how to use the macro_pack tool to masquerade any kind of
malicious file so they look legit to our victim.
We start by learning the basics about malicious file masquerading
and have an overview of the macro_pack tool.
After that,
we'll explore in our first demo how to hide a Metasploit Meterpreter
payload into a legitimate Microsoft Word file.
And finally,
you'll learn how to create a file dropper with a micro_pack tool,
which can then be used to distribute Malware hosting remote servers
via unsuspicious Microsoft Excel spreadsheets.
So, whether you're trying to hide malicious code for phishing attacks and a
red team engagement or just looking to test the security awareness of your
own company, join me and learn how to masquerade malicious files using the
macro_pack tool, here at Pluralsight.
