Colliding password protected MS office 97-2003 documents

[radiac]

Hi,

I do have a Office 2007 document with an write protected area - so the document itself is not encrypted. The python script doesn't work so, but I can extract the salt and password hash of the file.

Do you if this password is encrypted the same way as the regular encryption routine of a file? If so, how can I merge the hash for hashcat manually?

Thanks for your help!
