Update 1 (08/16/15):
In the final presentation I left out XXE attacks via XMP in PDF (gif, etc.) though it is still in the slide deck. This support is added in oxml_xxe. For example:
ruby oxml_xxe.rb --poc pdf --ip 192.168.14.1:8000


Update 2 (11/19/15):
Recently presented updated material as part of the Blackhat Webcast Series
Additional material was added discussing XXE via PDF, GIF, PNG, and JPG. Updates have been pushed to the tool.
