PDF Parser

The PDF Parser is a forensic analysis tool designed to inspect and interpret the internal structure of PDF files. It identifies and categorizes objects such as streams, xref tables, trailers, and embedded content, allowing users to determine whether a file is normal, encrypted, or corrupted.

The parser extracts text, metadata, and hidden objects while validating object integrity and reference consistency. It can flag anomalies like missing references, malformed headers, or encrypted payloads, useful for digital forensics and malware analysis.

Developed as part of my cybersecurity research, the tool automates tedious manual inspection processes and integrates seamlessly into larger DFIR workflows.
