Simulated Malicious PDF Samples

A collection of harmless, simulated malicious PDF files created for penetration testing, red team labs, and defensi research.
These files are designed to look like common malicious PDFs but do not contain working exploits or acti.

---

📖 Purpose

Test and security tools (e.g. AV, EDR, SIEM, email filters)

Provide training material for security teams

Support safe research en and labs

---

⚠️ Disclaimer

These samples are for educational and defensi only.

Some samples are safe test files that mimic malicious behavior and are designed to trigger antivirus or endpoint detection responses.

- This may cause managed PCs to enter lockdown or remediation mode.
- No real exploit payloads are included.

The repository is provided as-is, without warranty of any kind.

Do not use these files for malicious purposes.

🛠️ PDF Creation Script

The tools/create_pdf.py script allows you to generate test PDFs with different characteristics:

PDF Types

normal: Standard PDF with a test message.

xss_text: PDF with an XSS payload (<script>alert('XSS')</script>) as text.

js_annot: PDF with a Ja annotation that attempts to trigger an alert popup (may not work in all readers).

attach_scripts: PDF with three embedded files: hello.sh, hello.bat, and hello.ps1 (all print "Hello, World!").

Usage

Behavior:

If no --size is given, creates a single PDF with minimal size (no padding).

Examples:

Create a normal PDF of 1MB:

Create PDFs with XSS text payloads of 5MB and 10MB filename mytest:
