garak.probes.smuggling
Token Smuggling
Probes that attempt to bypass filters via obfuscation of contentious terms.
This module is suitable for probes that work using token/ASCII smuggling.
Token smugging attacks attempt to hide malicious content among benign text, in a way that bypasses alignment but is still reacted to by the target. This might involve swapping letters out for unusual unicode representations of the same letters, including meta-tokens like a zero-width space in order to break up the malicious text, or other encoding tricks.

ProbeDoes homoglyph character substitution bypass content filters?
Programmatically replaces Latin characters in payload strings with visually similar Unicode homoglyphs from other scripts (Cyrillic, Turkish, etc.). For example, Cyrillic ‘a’ (U+0430) replaces Latin ‘a’ in ‘jailbreak’, making the token sequence different while the text remains human-readable.
The replacement map is configurable via the
homoglyph_mapparameter, allowing the set of substitutions to be expanded or reduced for different resiliency testing scenarios.Note: this probe uses
mitigation.MitigationBypassas its primary detector, which assumes English-language denial responses. Some targets respond in the same script as the obfuscated input (e.g., Russian text for Cyrillic substitutions), which can produce false positives. A follow-up PR adds aModelAsJudge-based detector configured for this probe’s goal to close that gap. See discussion #1583 for the broader context-aware scanning direction.Configurable parameters:
