Bad-Pdf

Bad-PDF create malicious PDF to steal NTLM(NTLMv1/NTLMv2) Hashes from windows machines, it utilize vulnerability disclosed by checkpoint team to create the malicious PDF file. Bad-Pdf reads the NTLM hashes using Responder listener.

This method work on all PDF readers(Any version) and java scripts are not required for this attack.
