Dangerzone Rocks: How to convert malicious or mined documents and images into a secure PDF file
Documents can be exploited for phishing and compromising devices, as they may contain embedded code that runs tasks in the background. Therefore, caution is advised when downloading documents from the internet. If you encounter an important document from an untrusted source and are concerned about its safety, this article will guide you on extracting its content safely.
Dangerzone is a free, open-source program compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. It allows you to convert harmful or suspicious documents and images into secure PDF files. The program operates by isolating the document in a secure environment disconnected from your system files before converting it into a secure PDF. You can download the program from the link provided at the end of the article. Once launched, you can safely select any document suspected of being malicious "without opening it outside the program".
Using the program interface, you have the option to specify the location for saving the file on your device and choose a program to open the secure PDF file post-conversion. Additionally, you can utilize OCR technology to enable text searchability and copyability within the document. Finally, click on "Convert to Safe Document" to initiate the conversion process into a secure PDF file.
The software accommodates a wide range of document and image formats including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPEG, GIF, PNG, and ODF files. It also compresses the extracted file to reduce its size.
This is an important way to stay safe with Dangerzone. You can now extract document content without fear of viruses or your device being hacked!
