PDFiD: GoToE and GoToR Detection (“NTLM Credential Theft”)

Filed under: My Software,PDF — Didier Stevens @ 0:00

The article “NTLM Credentials Theft via PDF Files” explains how PDF documents can refer to a resource via UNC paths. This is done using  PDF names /GoToE or /GoToR.

My tool pdfid.py can now be extended to report /GoToE and /GoToR usage in a PDF file, without having to change the source code. You just have to edit the pdfid.ini file (or create it) to include these names, like this:

[keywords]
/URI
/GoToE
/GoToR

Using pdfid configured like this on a “credential stealing PDF” gives the following result:

pdfid.ini has to be located in the same directory as pdfid.py. And remember that names in the PDF language are case-sensitive.
