The PDF document contains a large number of external links, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic, pointing to various domains. One of these links, http://iweargreatness.com/uploads/1/3/0/5/130589384/130589384.html#nonsense+word+fluency+for+first+grade, is embedded directly in the document body. This suggests a tactic to drive traffic to potentially malicious websites or to manipulate search engine results. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

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.
