Metadata Extraction

If you're going to go that route, take a look at this

http//computer-forensics.sans.org/blog/2009/07/10/office-2007-metadata/

The actual Perl code can be found

blog.kiddaland.net/dw/read_open_xml.pl
http//snortdlp.googlecode.com/svn-history/r115/trunk/src/python/read_open_xml.pl

Perl, not Python, but it might be a good start for you.

Thanks Harlan, I've got a LONG way to go but hopefully I will reference back to your script to get the general gist of what's going on.

Thanks again

Cults,

It's not my script. None of the links I sent have anything to do with me…just want to be clear on that.

Good luck.

I've previously used software called ListIt - http//www.forensictools.com.au/software/index.html. You can point it at a directory, and it will list all files found along with meta data. Not free though ($40 Australian)…

Sydney36 - I eventually got a reply from these folks, purchased the product and it seems to do exactly what I want. And for $40AUD (approx $42US) it's a real snip.

Thanks again, much appreciated
