Trojan:Win32/Metasploit.X
Trojan:Win32/Metasploit.X is a harmful trojan that runs as a 32-bit Windows app backdoor based on the Meterpreter payload of the Metasploit framework, which is an open-source penetration testing tool weaponized by threat actors to use as a remote access trojan (RAT). It makes a reverse connection back to command-and-control server (C2) thereby allowing threat actors to issue commands, keep signals, and exfiltrate data. It operates from memory and, therefore, does not perform disk operations while also maintaining stealth.
It is a flexible threat for data theft, espionage, or deploying additional payloads like ransomware can result in anything from identity theft to taking down devices. This trojan is often delivered through exploits against applications such as Microsoft Office, or through phishing attacks, which shows the danger of unpatched software and unverified downloads. While a detection is not always indicative of threat actor malice (due to legitimate use of these tools), IT teams are advised to handle the detection as a high-risk event.
Trojan:Win32/Metasploit!MTB
Trojan:Win32/Metasploit!MTB is a harmful trojan that runs as a 32-bit Windows app backdoor based on the Meterpreter payload of the Metasploit framework, which is an open-source penetration testing tool weaponized by threat actors to use as a remote access trojan (RAT).

While a detection is not always indicative of threat actor malice (due to legitimate use of these tools), IT teams are advised to handle the detection as a high-risk event.
The “!MTB” suffix refers to Machine Threat Behavior, which indicates that this trojan was detected using behavioral analysis or machine learning models. Instead of relying on a static signature (like a known file hash), the antivirus engine identified the program's actions, sequence of operations, or code patterns as malicious. These patterns are consistent with the known behavior of the "Metasploit" family.
Trojan:Win32/Metasploit!MSR
