AI Red Teaming

AI红队演练

Continuously test AI applications like an adversary to discover exploitable failure modes before attackers do.
以攻击者的视角持续测试AI应用,在攻击者发现之前找出可被利用的故障模式。

When to Use This Skill

何时使用该技能

Use this skill when:
  • Launching a new LLM-powered feature or product
  • Evaluating a third-party model before adoption
  • Running periodic security assessments of existing AI systems
  • Responding to a reported jailbreak or prompt injection incident
  • Preparing for compliance audits requiring adversarial testing evidence
在以下场景使用该技能:
  • 推出新的LLM驱动功能或产品
  • 评估第三方模型以决定是否采用
  • 对现有AI系统进行定期安全评估
  • 响应已报告的越狱或提示注入事件
  • 为需要对抗性测试证据的合规审计做准备

Prerequisites

前置条件

  • Python 3.10+ with
    openai
    ,
    anthropic
    , or equivalent SDK installed
  • Access to the target model endpoint (API key or local deployment)
  • A prompt management tool or spreadsheet for tracking attack payloads
  • Familiarity with OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications
  • Isolated test environment that mirrors production config
  • 安装了
    openai
    anthropic
    或等效SDK的Python 3.10+环境
  • 可访问目标模型端点(API密钥或本地部署)
  • 用于跟踪攻击载荷的提示管理工具或电子表格
  • 熟悉OWASP大语言模型应用十大风险
  • 与生产配置一致的隔离测试环境

Program Design

方案设计

  • Define threat scenarios: jailbreaks, policy evasion, prompt injection, model abuse.
  • Build reusable attack suites by domain (support bot, coding agent, RAG assistant).
  • Include multilingual and obfuscated attack prompts.
  • Track results in a risk register with severity and exploitability.
  • 定义威胁场景:越狱、策略规避、提示注入、模型滥用。
  • 按领域构建可复用的攻击套件(支持机器人、编码Agent、RAG助手)。
  • 包含多语言和混淆后的攻击提示。
  • 在风险登记册中跟踪结果,记录严重性和可利用性。

Test Categories

测试类别

  1. Jailbreak robustness: bypassing safety instructions.
  2. Data exfiltration: extracting secrets, system prompts, tenant data.
  3. Tool abuse: unauthorized API calls or command execution.
  4. Social engineering: inducing unsafe business actions.
  5. Availability abuse: token amplification and DoS-style prompts.
  1. 越狱鲁棒性:绕过安全指令。
  2. 数据泄露:提取机密信息、系统提示、租户数据。
  3. 工具滥用:未经授权的API调用或命令执行。
  4. 社会工程:诱导不安全的业务操作。
  5. 可用性滥用:令牌放大和DoS式提示。

Troubleshooting

故障排除

ProblemCauseSolution
High false positive rateOverly broad success detectionTune evaluation keywords per category; add an LLM-as-judge layer
Rate limiting during testsToo many requests per secondSet
rate_limit_rps
in config; use exponential backoff
Results vary between runsNon-zero temperatureSet
temperature: 0.0
; run multiple trials and average
Tests pass but prod is exploitedTest prompts don't cover real attacksAdd reported incidents to prompt library; run community jailbreak feeds
Cannot reproduce a findingModel version changedPin model version in config; log exact API params with each result
问题原因解决方案
高误报率成功检测规则过于宽泛按类别调整评估关键词;添加LLM作为判断层
测试期间遇到速率限制请求频率过高在配置中设置
rate_limit_rps
;使用指数退避策略
多次运行结果不一致温度参数非零设置
temperature: 0.0
;多次运行并取平均值
测试通过但生产环境被攻击测试提示未覆盖真实攻击将已报告的事件添加到提示库;运行社区越狱攻击数据集
无法复现某一发现模型版本变更在配置中固定模型版本;记录每次结果对应的精确API参数
