Join us for an in-depth exploration of how PDFs, a ubiquitous document format, can be exploited as a vessel for executing malicious JavaScript malware. This presentation will delve into real-world vulnerability that have been targeted to execute harmful code within PDF files—posing a serious threat in today's cybersecurity landscape.

Key exploit techniques we'll explore include:

Heap Spray Attacks: Using shellcode to strategically overwrite memory, thereby enabling attackers to execute arbitrary code and gain control over target systems.

Data Exfiltration Tactics: Methods for covertly extracting critical information, such as email addresses and system details, from users without their knowledge or consent.
Embedding Malware in PDFs: An examination of how attackers embed harmful scripts into PDFs, tricking users into activating exploits within Adobe Reader through seemingly ordinary actions.

We'll dissect malicious actions such as shellcode injection, buffer overflow attacks, Adobe Reader exploit, and memory manipulation, all designed to execute malware effectively.

This session is perfect for offensive security professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of PDF-based exploits and enhance their penetration testing and threat emulation capabilities. Discover how these sophisticated threats operate and learn strategies to counteract them within your security frameworks. Join us to stay ahead in the ever-evolving world of cyber threats.
