msoffcrypto-tool (formerly ms-offcrypto-tool) is a Python tool and library for decrypting encrypted MS Office files with password, intermediate key, or private key which generated its escrow key.
Early PoC version: https://github.com/nolze/ms-offcrypto-tool/tree/v0.1.0
Install/Uninstall
Install
pip install git+https://github.com/nolze/msoffcrypto-tool
Uninstall

Examples
As a CLI tool (with password)
msoffcrypto-tool -p Passw0rd encrypted.docx decrypted.docx
As a library
Password and more key types are supported with library functions.
import msoffcrypto
file = msoffcrypto.OfficeFile(open("encrypted.docx", "rb"))
# Use password
file.load_key(password="Passw0rd")
# Use private key
# file.load_key(private_key=open("priv.pem", "rb"))
# Use intermediate key (secretKey)
# file.load_key(secret_key=binascii.unhexlify("AE8C36E68B4BB9EA46E5544A5FDB6693875B2FDE1507CBC65C8BCF99E25C2562"))
file.decrypt(open("decrypted.docx", "wb"))

Todo
- Add tests
- Support decryption with passwords
- Support older encryption schemes
- Add function-level tests
- Add API documents
- Publish to PyPI
- Add decryption tests for various file formats
- Merge to more comprehensive projects handling MS Office files (such as oletools?) if possible
