A simple Add-in for OneNote

Program created by eRaMvn.

The purpose of this Add-in is to put of the text file (File with the txt extension) to OneNote programmatically. As only OneNote for Business supports the use of API for free. I created this Add-in to automate this process. This Add-in also uses OneNote API, but it interacts with the web version of OneNote (https://www.onenote.com/notebooks) instead of the offline one. This Add-in is only a workaround that is still in development to help pentesters store all of the notes in one place. It works well with my other tool GoldFish at (https://github.com/eRaMvn/LazyTools)

#Prequisites:

nodejs
nodemon package (npm i nodemon)
cors package (npm i cors)

I followed this guideline from Microsoft (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/quickstarts/onenote-quickstart) to test my api.

Basically what this tool does is:

1. Obtain the contents of all of the text files under web-server/current-pentest
2. Spin up the webpack for OneNote Add-in to interact with localhost
3. Spin up a small web server to serve the contents of the text file
4. Serve the content when the Run button of the OneNote Add-in

Step to set up:

1. Go to each folder My Office Add-in and web-server folders and run

npm install

2. Have two terminals open. In one terminal, run web-pack, under My Office Add-in

npm run start:web

This server will listen on port 3000

In a second terminal, under web-server/src

nodemon app.js

The express server will listen on port 5000 The two servers are now ready!

Step to tear down:
