In this phishing campaign, the cybercriminals utilized a CSV file – a delimited text file that stores data in a tabular format and uses a comma to separate values. This file type is a popular way to exchange simple data between databases and applications. As a CSV file simply contains text with no executable code, a lot of users think that it is harmless and swiftly open the document without caution. These applications can execute the formulas, and functions in the CSV file. Compared to popular attack approaches with a malicious macro or VBA code hidden in an MS Office file, threats hidden inside DDE documents are harder to detect. A common example of this vulnerability is an application such as a blog or forum that allows users to upload images and other media files. VirusTotal is a free service that analyzes suspicious files and URLs and facilitates the quick detection of viruses, worms, trojans, and all kinds of malware.
Once the computer restarts, you should be able to simply double-click your document and it will automatically open in the XPS viewer. The exported file can then be specified in group policy, and applied to client machines where it will supersede any choice the user may have manually set.
Open ZIP, RAR, and 7Z files using third-party software
Whenever a project is set up, files of type .mcp and .mcw are created. When using Assembler, the original source code is written in a file with the .asm extension.

Archive Utility only creates a __MACOSX directory when you create an archive where at least one file contains metadata such as extended attributes, file flags, or a resource fork. The __MACOSX directory contains AppleDouble files whose filename starts with ._ that are used to store OS X-specific metadata. When I compress files with the built in zip compressor in Mac OSX, it causes an extra folder titled “__MACOSX” to be created in the extracted zip. In Terminal, you can use the GNU tar command to compress and uncompress files and folders.
Querying Structured Types (List and Structs)
We haven’t covered RAR files in this article, but you can split these into parts to get TIB by arbitrary file size limitations. The Terminal actually lets you create password-protected ZIP files. This way, when someone tries to extract the contents of your ZIP archive, they need to enter the correct password before they can do so. If you want to see how much space you’ve saved by compressing your files in a ZIP, you can do a quick comparison by right-clicking your ZIP and selecting Get Info. Use the file size there and compare it with the original size of your files.
