Verdict Suspicious

Analyzed , 3 months ago

Is Trinity.exe safe? Treat it as suspicious.

No malicious network activity or files it created were observed.

Why Suspicious? 12 antivirus engines flag it; nothing else confirms it.

Limited evidence · One sign points to a problem; nothing else confirms it.

Don't run it until you know where it came from

Treat as suspicious pending further sandbox or dynamic analysis; avoid execution until additional clean signals appear.

What to do now4 steps

Some signs point to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful. Treat it with caution.

What to do

  1. Don't run it unless you're sure where it came from.

  2. Check where you got it: an unexpected attachment, a link someone sent you or a re-upload is a red flag.

  3. If you can't confirm where it came from, delete it. If you need the program, download it again from the publisher's own website.

If you already ran it

  1. Stop using it, run a full scan with your antivirus and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts.

MT AI Engine · Verdict analysis

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

The combination of major detections, an offensive MITRE technique, and lack of any signing history outweighs the clean reports from other major antivirus engines. The file is relatively new with medium prevalence and no prior similar-hash matches, leaving insufficient ground to call it clean. The Nuitka label appears tied to the compiler rather than a specific malware family, but the injection behaviour remains a concrete risk indicator.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • tier1FamilyConsensus.strong=false (only 2 major antivirus engines on 'nuitka') and many major antivirus engines (Avast, AVG, Avira, BitDefender, DrWeb, Emsisoft, F-Secure, Fortinet, GData) reported clean.
  • no malicious sandboxVerdicts, no contactedDomains, no droppedChildren, no contactedHosts.maliciousHosts — behaviour in the test run shows limited external activity.
  • popularThreatLabel='trojan.nuitka/python' may reflect Nuitka compiler usage rather than a named malware family.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

What the test run showed

What the file did on a test computer

Sandbox labels we could not confirm (common in safe files too)

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as code injection, but no injected program was recorded.

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as contacting a server, but no contacted host was recorded.

This file was run on a test computer (a sandbox), not on yours. Labels we could not confirm are listed so you can see them, but they are not treated as evidence against the file.

I already downloaded and ran Trinity.exe — what should I do?
No infection is confirmed: the rating is a caution, not a malware finding. 1) Check where it came from. If you can't confirm the source, delete it. 2) Run a full scan with your security software. 3) If the scan finds something, follow its removal steps and change passwords you typed on the device since then.
What is the SHA-256 hash of Trinity.exe?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of Trinity.exe is d741e3dbd8e402529af44d3ca1748a21127ae9f8c0e51e9cdf2ba6dc407c345b, and its MD5 is f1fef6a2db891093237d3e0a47b1f07e. Two files with the same SHA-256 are identical, so use it to check you have exactly this file, not just one with the same name.
How up to date is this analysis of Trinity.exe?
This report reflects the scan on Jul 11, 2026. A file's fingerprint never changes, but antivirus engines keep learning, so a rating can change later. To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.
