During my work as a PDF malware analyst I have seen lots and lots of PDF files that try to use code obfuscation techniques to make analysis harder. Most malware authors completely botch obfuscation though. In this talk I will walk the audience through examples of botched code obfuscation techniques, what went wrong, and how to fix the failed obfuscation attempts. Along the way I will give a general introduction to the PDF format, which I expect to be a major exploit vector of 2010.
