In this video, I show how to analyze a .doc malicious document using CyberChef only. This is possible, because the payload is a very long string that can be extracted without having to parse the structure of the .doc file with a tool like oledump.py.
I pasted the recipe on pastebin here.
I created a video where I use my updated numbers-to-string.py tool to analyze a maldoc created with FireEye’s red team tool.

In the following 2 videos, I perform various tests with that defective cable:
