The PDF file contains a mass of external links, identified as a PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. One of these links, http://chessrandomly.com/uploads/1/3/0/2/130270894/130270894.html#98-383+introduction+to+programming+using+html+and+css+pdf, is presented in the document body as a programming guide. This suggests a lure to direct the user to a potentially malicious website. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

Heuristics 3

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM
    Small PDF contains many clickable external PDF links, mostly clustered on one host. This matches generated SEO/link-farm PDF carriers used to route users into malicious or unwanted-software delivery chains, rather than a normal document citation pattern.
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
