DOCX Password Protection
Files protected by MS Office Agile Encryption are fundamentally different from standard password-protected ZIP files. Microsoft wraps the encrypted ZIP stream inside an OLE compound document container, making them incredibly difficult to parse.
These files ensure your processing pipelines fail gracefully—or correctly prompt the user for a password—when encountering natively protected Microsoft Word documents. All files use the password "spytm".
