The PDF contains a critical heuristic firing indicating a link to known malicious redirector infrastructure. The embedded URL points to 'botcraftman.ru', which is flagged as malicious. The document body is heavily obfuscated and does not provide clear user-facing text, but the presence of the malicious link is sufficient to determine the attack vector. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

Heuristics 2

  • PDF links to known malicious redirector infrastructure critical PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK
    PDF contains a clickable URI to redirector infrastructure used by a known malicious PDF SEO/adware delivery campaign. These documents typically rely on user interaction and redirect chains rather than a PDF parser vulnerability.
  • 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.
    URL http://botcraftman.ru/?lip&keyword=%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%8C+card+wars+adventure+time&charset=utf-8
