The PDF file contains a link to a known malicious redirector, botcraftman.ru. This suggests the document is designed to lure users to a potentially harmful website. The file was generated by wkhtmltopdf, a tool often used to create PDFs from web content, which could be part of a phishing or malware distribution chain. No scripts were extracted, limiting further analysis of the payload.

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=asus+gpu+tweak+%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%8C+%D0%BD%D0%B0+%D1%80%D1%83%D1%81%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BC&charset=utf-8
