The PDF file was flagged as a malicious redirector due to its inclusion of the URL http://botcraftman.ru/. This URL is known to point to malicious infrastructure. The file's metadata indicates it was generated by wkhtmltopdf, a tool often used to create documents from web content, which can be abused for malicious purposes. No scripts were extracted from this sample, and the document body was truncated, limiting further analysis of the immediate intent beyond the malicious link.

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=Batman+arkham+asylum+%D0%BA%D0%BB%D1%8E%D1%87+%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B4%D1%83%D0%BA%D1%82%D0%B0&charset=utf-8
