MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF contains numerous embedded links and a link farm heuristic, suggesting it is designed to redirect users to external sites. The document body and heuristics indicate a lure for game cheats or hacks, often a pretext for malware distribution. The presence of a password archive lure suggests an attempt to bypass security scanning by encrypting a payload.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9648

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.
  • Password-protected archive handoff high SE_PASSWORD_ARCHIVE_LURE
    Document gives password instructions for an archive or attachment — often used to keep payloads encrypted until after gateway scanning
  • Visual download / call-to-action button lure low SE_DOWNLOAD_BUTTON
    Document contains a call-to-action phrase ('Click here to download', 'Download Now', etc.) — low-signal unless other findings point to a malicious workflow
  • 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.
