Using python oledump tool gives me "extraction failed" error

Viewed 16

I would like some help with the oledump tool from the oletools python toolset.

I am doing a training exercise where I need to extract an attachment in a msg file and get the md5 hash for it. However I am having trouble extracting the attachment using oletools in a Linux environment. Keep in mind this is a training lab environment and I cannot get any other tools then the ones provided in the lab (oledump).

Checking the msg file, it clearly has an attachment (attach_version section) with binary data (ending in hex 0102)

overview

Checking section 3, it is a word doc

section 3

Section 4 seems to be the start of the binary data

binary data

However when I try to extract this part, I always get an extraction failed error. I tried the "-d" flag but that only gives me the section and not the whole file

extraction

How would be the best way to go about this to extract the file with oledump without the errors?
