The PDF document contains a large number of external links, many of which point to other PDF files, suggesting a link farm designed to improve search engine rankings for specific keywords. The primary embedded URL, 'https://trafffi.ru/123?keyword=a+new+earth+by+eckhart+tolle+pdf+download', indicates a lure for users searching for a specific book, likely to redirect them to malicious content. No scripts were extracted, but the PDF structure and numerous external links strongly suggest a malicious intent to distribute further malicious content or engage in SEO abuse.

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 4

  • 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
  • Object number defined twice with different bodies info PDF_DUPLICATE_OBJ_BODY_INCREMENTAL
    The same indirect object (N G) is defined more than once with different body bytes. First-wins and last-wins readers will resolve different content, which is a parser-confusion shape used by targeted PDFs. Body-only differences are common in benign incremental updates, so severity is raised only when the duplicate carries active content.
  • 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.
