Linux Edition — now in beta

AI threat protection
for Linux, done right.

HYVE Ai for Linux runs as a lightweight systemd service using inotify-driven real-time monitoring. Ransomware, droppers, and persistence implants are detected in under 2 seconds — with zero GUI overhead.

inotify kernel-driven events
systemd Type=notify integration
< 2% CPU at idle
Works alongside AppArmor & SELinux

Built for the Linux security stack.

Not a port. Not an afterthought. The same AI core — rebuilt for how Linux actually works.

inotify Real-Time Monitoring

File events from the kernel — no polling, no constant CPU burn. HYVE Ai watches your home directory, /tmp, /var/tmp, and /opt at near-zero idle cost.

Ransomware Burst Detection

Rapid mass-encryption patterns trigger an immediate alert and quarantine. Canary files in monitored directories provide an independent early-warning tripwire.

Full CLI Interface

Everything scriptable. hyveav scan <path> for on-demand scans, hyveav list-quarantine to review detections, and hyveav restore <id> for false-positive recovery.

15+ Signal Risk Scorer

ELF binaries, shell droppers, cron/systemd persistence, high-entropy payloads, base64 stagers, and network downloaders — all scored in a single pass with tunable thresholds.

Threat DNA Fingerprinting

A 16-char hex fingerprint clusters malware family variants even when byte signatures differ. Recurrence boosts the score on known family re-encounters — persistent threats don't get a second chance.

systemd Native Integration

Type=notify, journald-structured logging, restart-on-failure, and hardening flags (ProtectSystem=strict, NoNewPrivileges=true). Fits cleanly into any server or workstation environment.

Linux vs Windows edition.

Same AI core. Platform-native everywhere.

Up and running in 4 steps.

A single self-contained binary. No runtime dependencies required.

1

Download the installer script

bash
curl -fsSL https://hyveav.com/install.sh -o install.sh
chmod +x install.sh
2

Run the installer (requires sudo)

bash
sudo ./install.sh install

Installs the binary to /usr/local/bin/hyveav, writes the systemd unit, creates config at /etc/hyveav/hyve.config.json, and starts the service.

3

Activate your license

bash
hyveav activate XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

Your license key is emailed after purchase. For the free trial, run hyveav trial instead — no key required.

4

Verify protection is active

bash
systemctl status hyveav
journalctl -u hyveav -f

Useful commands

hyveav scan /path On-demand scan of a file or directory
hyveav list-quarantine Show all quarantined items
hyveav restore <id> Restore a quarantined file
systemctl stop hyveav Stop the protection service
journalctl -u hyveav -f Stream live detection logs
sudo ./install.sh uninstall Completely remove HYVE Ai
