ABSTRACT

This study criticized the limitations of existing post-incident smishing detection methods in preventing and tracing attacks and proposes a preemptive smishing crime–tracking method to overcome them. The proposed approach leverages the flexible structure of PDF files to create honeypot spyware PDFs disguised as legitimate documents, which, upon execution by an attacker, immediately perform system information collection, keylogging, and network transmission. This six-stage tracking scenario was validated through experiments on a testbed simulating a real-world environment, demonstrating its feasibility at every step. Consequently, this work establishes a practical foundation for shifting the smishing response paradigm from reactive detection to preemtive prevention.
