[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 103564, post: 1067080"] All kinds of solutions abound besides the one I stated which is the simplest, probably most effective. You can hash the file locally and upload it to VT. You can upload it to a sandbox or run it in a VM. You can open it in a hex editor and check the file signature. You can install Python and then Pdfid and pdfparser to analyze the files "works on Windows or Linux" , this will give you a look at what's inside a PDF before you run it. You will be able to view stream, end streams of the file and lists of start and end tags for JavaScript. Basically if you view zeros as start and end tags of JavaScript chances are the file does not contain anything. You can get and use a advanced PDF reader with options to disable JS or connecting to the Internet. Ect,ect. [/QUOTE]
