When you do malware analysis of documents or office files, it is important to have Microsoft Office installed in your Lab machine. I am using flare VM and it doesn't comes with MS Office. Since Microsoft is promoting Microsoft 365 over the offline version, finding the offline installer is not that easy. Here is the list of genuine Microsoft links to download the office .img files.

Kali had changed to a non-root user policy by default since the release of 2020.1.Which means, the old root/toor credentials won't work by default.
When some one login to the Kali linux using the new default credentials kali/kali , they wont be having the root privileges. Even unable to view the IP Address using the ifconfig command.
So the command not found, due to the lack of privileges.
To solve this, you can run the command in sudo.
#sudo ifconfig will give you the result. But executing all commands with sudo is bit inconvenience.
So let''s activate the root user.
#sudo su
and then reset the password using #passwd root
Enter your new password for the root user.
Restart Kali or switch user, and then login with root and the new password that you've set.
