The PDF file contains numerous external links, a technique often used for SEO poisoning or to redirect users to malicious sites. The document body and extracted URLs suggest a lure related to a 'free PDF download'. The primary malicious URL, http://kassie-nichols.rominastiebenphotography.com/uploads/1/3/0/3/130313339/130313339.html#apache+hive+cookbook+pdf+free, is likely intended to host further malicious content or phishing pages. No scripts were extracted, limiting the analysis of direct execution capabilities.

Heuristics 3

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM

  • 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.
