This repository contains a library and command-line utility for extracting files and metadata from .one files. At the time of the creation (2023-01-20) of this script there appear to be no Python scripts that can extract files or metadata from objects.
NOTE: Since this project's initial creation another library named pyOneNote has been created which takes a more thorough approach to parsing objects found in .one files.
To install OneNoteExtractor, we recommend using something like this:
cd /path/to/onenoteextractor/ && python -m pip install .
For examples of how to use OneNoteExtractor as a library, review the code in cli.py
Following successful installation of OneNoteExtractor a new CLI utility will be available, for usage see:
one-extract --help
one-extract /path/to/file.one --extract-files
one-extract /path/to/file.one --extract-meta
one-extract /path/to/file.one --extract-files --password 1234
This project was only intended as an interim solution, until someone with a greater understanding of the .one file format comes up with something more robust.
It was created in response to an uptick in malicious .one file extensions being delivered by various malspam actors.
