MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, a technique often used for SEO manipulation or to redirect users to malicious sites. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains text related to 'Gym training app android' and references the wkhtmltopdf tool, suggesting a lure. The primary heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a mass of external links, with 'http://ssmanning.com/uploads/1/3/0/8/130813639/tizobi.pdf' being the first identified. Another heuristic, 'PDF_URI', points to 'http://murraywhiteley.com/uploads/1/3/1/3/131379274/131379274.html#gym+training+app+android'. These links likely serve as the initial stage for a phishing or malware delivery campaign.

Heuristics 3

  • 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
  • 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.
