KIVA is a compact, handheld device that blends the concept of an AI assistant with a powerful suite of security testing tools. It aims to be a digital "charioteer"—a guide and companion, providing assistance and insights while also offering a robust platform for network analysis and security education.
KIVA is intended for educational and security testing purposes only. All features should be used in compliance with local laws and regulations. The developers are not responsible for any misuse of this tool. Always obtain proper authorization before testing any network or device you do not own.
For detailed information about the project, please refer to the KIVA OS Documentation.
