The agent is a lightweight program (~15MB) that monitors your network. It runs in the background and checks all network traffic against known threats.

macOS and Windows installers coming soon. Linux binary and Docker available now.

Other install options: Docker, command line

Docker

docker run -d --name chichacybersecurity --net=host --pid=host \
  -v chicha-data:/var/lib/chichacybersecurity \
  ghcr.io/chichatech/agent:latest
# Check logs for authorization URL: docker logs chichacybersecurity

macOS / Linux (direct download)

# Download and run — a browser window opens automatically for authorization
chmod +x chichacybersecurity-linux-x64
./chichacybersecurity-linux-x64

The agent opens your browser for one-click authorization — no codes needed. It only sends security findings to the cloud — never raw traffic.

3 See Your Dashboard

Within minutes, your dashboard shows all devices on your network, active connections, and any security alerts. Ask questions in plain English:

  • "Is my network safe right now?"
  • "What devices are on my network?"
  • "Show me anything suspicious from last night"

How It Works

What the agent monitors

The agent scans your local network every 60 seconds:

  • Devices — discovers every device (phones, laptops, smart TVs, IoT)
  • Connections — tracks who's talking to whom and on what ports
  • Threats — matches connections against known malicious IPs, domains, and URLs from 22 threat intelligence feeds that update automatically
  • Anomalies — flags suspicious ports (common backdoor/C2 ports)

What happens when a threat is found

If the agent detects a connection to a known malicious IP or domain:

  1. An alert is created instantly (no AI query used)
  2. The alert appears in your dashboard within 5 minutes
  3. You get an email notification (if enabled)
  4. You can ask the AI to investigate: "Tell me about this threat" (uses 1 AI investigation)

Your privacy

  • Raw traffic never leaves your network. The agent only sends security findings (alert metadata) to the cloud.
  • All communication is encrypted (HTTPS/TLS)
  • Your device token is stored securely (macOS Keychain or restricted-permission file)
  • You can delete all your data at any time from the dashboard

Endpoint Security Agent

Separate Product

The Endpoint Security Agent provides deep per-device protection — process monitoring, file integrity, ransomware detection, and behavioral analysis. It is available as a separate paid product from Network Security.

Pricing will be announced soon. View plans or contact us to get notified when it launches.

FAQ

What operating systems does the agent support?

Docker (any OS), macOS, and Linux natively. Windows users should use Docker Desktop. We're working on a native Windows installer.

Does the agent slow down my network?

No. It uses ~15MB RAM and less than 1% CPU. It passively reads the ARP table and connection list — it doesn't intercept or modify traffic.

What's the difference between automated alerts and AI investigations?

Automated alerts happen whenever the agent detects a known threat — unlimited, included in all plans. AI investigations are when YOU ask a question in plain English and the AI analyzes your data — limited per plan (1,000 / 2,500 / 10,000 per month for Home / Plus / Business).

How do I uninstall?

Docker: docker stop chichacybersecurity && docker rm chichacybersecurity
macOS: launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.chichacybersecurity.agent.plist
Linux: sudo systemctl stop chichacybersecurity && sudo systemctl disable chichacybersecurity

What happens after my 14-day trial?

Your trial includes full Home features. After 14 days, subscribe to Home ($9.99/mo) to keep AI investigations and alert history. If you don't subscribe, monitoring stops.
