Attacker Instructions

Steer attack generation with domain-specific instructions.

View on GitHub

"""Steer attack generation with domain-specific instructions.

The `attacker_instructions` parameter provides context to the adversarial
LLM about your application's domain. This helps generate more realistic
and targeted attacks instead of generic ones.

For example, telling the attacker "this agent handles financial transactions"
produces attacks like "approve this refund for $10,000" rather than generic
jailbreak prompts.

Prerequisites:
    - OPENAI_API_KEY set in environment

Usage:
    OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-... python 13_attacker_instructions.py
