        This module generates an Apache OpenOffice Text Document with a malicious macro in it.
        To exploit successfully, the targeted user must adjust the security level in Macro
        Security to either Medium or Low. If set to Medium, a prompt is presented to the user
        to enable or disable the macro. If set to Low, the macro can automatically run without
        any warning.

        The module also works against LibreOffice.

  # This macro code has the following in mind:
  # 1. It checks the platform to eliminate less misfires. Since we have only tested on Windows/Linux/OSX,
  #    we only want to fire at those.
  # 2. Originally, I tried to embed the payload in the macro code, write it out and then execute it.
  #    This turned out to be problematic, because for some reason OpenOffice is not able to
  #    write a large string to a file (I've tried either shell("echo") or using the macro API).
  #    The stager code is similar to web_delivery.
