Attack Categories Explained

Click a category to learn what it means and how it works.

Instruction Override 23
Attempts to replace or cancel the model's original system instructions. The attacker directly tells the model to ignore previous instructions and follow new directives.
Role-Playing 10
Coaxes the model into assuming a fictional persona not bound by the same rules. 'Act as' framing tries to bypass safety guidelines through narrative.
Context Manipulation 8
Modifies surrounding context to influence how the model interprets and responds. Includes injecting false premises, changing topic, or creating misleading scenarios.
Formatting Trick 8
Uses whitespace, encoding, markup, or special characters to obscure malicious instructions from safety filters while keeping them readable by the tokenizer.
Multilingual 8
Bypasses filters by switching languages, mixing scripts, or using translation as a vector. Many safety systems are trained primarily on English.
Jailbreak 7
Creates alternate personas or modes (DAN, 'developer mode') claiming to operate without restrictions. Often elaborate scenarios overriding safety training.
Psychological Manipulation 8
Leverages emotion, urgency, or reverse psychology to pressure the model into compliance. Mirrors real-world social engineering adapted for AI.
Hijacking 5
Redirects output generation away from the intended task, ignoring safety instructions entirely. The attacker takes control of what the model produces.
Authority Role 5
Fabricates authoritative sources or credentials to justify unsafe output. Impersonates researchers, companies, or officials for false legitimacy.
