.PDF file - kkokl - Nov 12, 2025

Is it possible to create a malware in .pdf file?


RE: .PDF file - DeathPenalty666 - Nov 12, 2025

a malware and spread with a pdf exploit yes. but most of pdf exploit are specific to a pdf reader so... you mmust get a pdf reader checker script to drop the good pdf exploit to reach out cussecfully the target otherwise...

The long answer is complicated. DeathProphet explained it pretty well but I’ll comment for another reason

I admit this is not really my forte, I have never looked into LNK exploits or anything of the sort - just know that most ANYONE reaching out to you claiming they have a working PDF/PNG etc exploit is 9/10 trying to scam you.

Read up on PDF reader and especially browser patches since that's what people use and how software developers generally know about malware and try to prevent it.

I've made a thread about malicious PDF files, but not sure if all methods still work : https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=6284659

That might not exactly fit what you're looking for too
