Test File: PDF With Embedded DOC Dropping EICAR

Filed under: PDF — Didier Stevens @ 9:30

Over at the SANS ISC diary I wrote a diary entry on the analysis of a PDF file that contains a malicious DOC file.

For testing purposes, I created a PDF file that contains a DOC file that drops the EICAR test file.

The PDF file contains JavaScript that extracts and opens the DOC file (with user approval). The DOC file contains a VBA script that executes upon opening of the file, and writes the EICAR test file to a temporary file in the %TEMP% folder.

You can download the PDF file here. It is in a password protected ZIP file. The password is eicardropper, with eicar written in uppercase: EICAR.

This will generate an anti-virus alert. Use at your own risk, with approval.
