Skill UI

This guide details the process of performing static analysis on potentially malicious PDF documents. It utilizes advanced tools like peepdf, pdfid, and pdf-parser to extract embedded JavaScript, shellcode, and suspicious objects. Use this method when triaging suspicious attachments from phishing emails or conducting deep forensic examination of weaponized document artifacts to generate actionable Indicators of Compromise (IOCs).

This skill guides users through analyzing suspicious URLs using the URLScan.io platform or API. It provides a safe environment to capture screenshots, DOM content, network traffic, and analyze JavaScript behavior to investigate phishing attempts, credential harvesting, and sophisticated malicious redirects without risking the analyst's system.

This comprehensive toolkit provides deep static analysis capabilities for suspicious PDF documents. Using tools like PDFiD, pdf-parser, and peepdf, it identifies embedded malicious structures—including JavaScript code, shellcode, auto-actions, and exploit kits—without opening or rendering the file. It is essential for security analysts conducting threat triage, forensic investigation, and assessing potential attack vectors from suspicious attachments.
