garak.probes.encoding

Encoding-based prompt injection

Encode an unsafe instruction or string in an effort to get it past alignment.

Probes in this modules all perform some kind of encoding of the target string or instruction.

These encoding probes try to get a model to generate a specific piece of given text by presenting an encoded version of that text. Attempts to circumvent safeguards on input filtering.

optional variable: encoding.payloads -> a list of payload types to be used

Recommended garak payloads to try:

• text_en

• encoded

• web_html_js

• access_shell_commands

• slur_terms_en
