This PDF document contains a large number of external links, many of which point to other PDF files, suggesting a link farm or SEO poisoning attempt. The document also includes a 'Clipboard command execution lure', instructing the user to copy and paste content into a shell, which is a common technique to trick users into executing malicious commands. The ML classifier strongly flagged this PDF as malicious. The primary IOC is the URL http://oneagleswingsvic.com/uploads/1/3/0/5/130551526/130551526.html#proficy+machine+edition+7.0+crack, which is presented as a lure for software cracks.

Heuristics 5

  • 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.
  • Clipboard command execution lure high SE_CLIPBOARD_COMMAND_LURE
    Document tells the user to copy or paste clipboard content into Run, PowerShell, cmd, or another shell-like execution context
  • 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.
