The PDF file contains a critical heuristic firing indicating a malicious redirector link to ttraff.ru. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains text related to 'read bastard out of carolina pdf' and metadata indicating it was generated by wkhtmltopdf. The primary malicious indicator is the embedded URL, which is known to host malicious redirectors. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

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.
