This dude also got Doom to run in a PDF FYI. Pretty insane level of scripting support for a supposedly static document format.

Which is why I open unknown source PDFs in a VM :)

This did not work on my iPhone. Instead there’s just an empty white box in the upper left-hand corner of the page.

That’s probably a good thing. Why on earth should a pdf file be able to do something like this? Just seems like another potential attack surface.

Which PDF reader were you using?

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 1 points 5 months ago

It’s the built-in PDF reader as part of the browser. I’m not aware that it has any name.

[-] DdCno1@beehaw.org 1 points 5 months ago

It would probably work in Adobe Reader. Surprisingly, it works in Firefox built-in PDF viewer, which has iffy compatibility with some more complex PDFs, but it might not work in the very different iOS build of this browser.

That's impressive.
