# olebrowse

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 python-oletools package.

## Dependencies

olebrowse requires Tkinter. On Windows and MacOSX, it should be installed with Python, and olebrowse should work out of the box.

However, on Linux it might be necessary to install the tkinter package for Python separately. For example, on Ubuntu this is done with the following command:

    sudo apt-get install python-tk

And for Python 3:

    sudo apt-get install python3-tk

## Usage

    olebrowse [file]

If you provide a file it will be opened, else a dialog will allow you to browse folders to open a file. Then if it is a valid OLE file, the list of data streams will be displayed. You can select a stream, and then either view its content in a builtin hexadecimal viewer, or save it to a file for further analysis.

## Screenshots
