lab defense-evasion filters bypass

Prerequisites

Completed Environment Setup and Jailbreak Basics
Understanding of basic prompt injection techniques
Python scripting ability

Real-world LLM applications deploy multiple layers of defense. Before your prompt reaches the model, it may pass through input filters, content classifiers, and sanitization routines. Understanding these defenses is essential for realistic red teaming.

Common defense layers include:

Defense Layer	What It Does	Common Weaknesses
Keyword filter	Blocks messages containing blacklisted words	Encoding, synonyms, misspellings
Regex filter	Blocks messages matching specific patterns	Unicode, whitespace insertion
Content classifier	ML model that scores input for harmful intent	Indirect framing, context manipulation
Input preprocessing	Normalizes or sanitizes input	Edge cases in normalization logic
Output filter	Blocks harmful content in model responses	Partial generation, format tricks

For the theory, see Defense Mechanisms and Evasion Techniques.

    print("=== Payload Splitting Tests ===\n")
 
    for name, conversation in SPLIT_CONVERSATIONS.items():

        for msg in conversation:
            if msg["role"] == "user":

        else:
            print(f"  {response}")
        print()

Measure and Compare Bypass Rates

Compile results from all evasion techniques:

# After running all evasion scripts, compare effectiveness
 
techniques = {
    "Encoding (leetspeak)": 0.8,    # Example bypass rates
    "Encoding (homoglyph)": 0.9,
    "Encoding (synonym)": 0.7,
    "Regex (newline)": 0.6,
    "Regex (indirect)": 0.5,
    "Splitting (context)": 0.9,
    "Splitting (fragment)": 0.4,
}
 
for tech, rate in sorted(techniques.items(), key=lambda x: -x[1]):
    bar = "#" * int(rate * 20)
    print(f"  {tech:<30} {rate:.0%} {bar}")

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
All bypasses succeed trivially	Strengthen the defense layer by adding more keywords/patterns
No bypasses work	Review the filter code to understand exactly what it checks
Unicode characters cause errors	Ensure your Python script uses UTF-8 encoding
Model does not understand encoded input	The encoding bypassed the filter but the model could not decode it -- try a simpler encoding

Measure and Compare Bypass Rates

Compile results from all evasion techniques:

# After running all evasion scripts, compare effectiveness
 
techniques = {
    "Encoding (leetspeak)": 0.8,    # Example bypass rates
    "Encoding (homoglyph)": 0.9,
    "Encoding (synonym)": 0.7,
    "Regex (newline)": 0.6,
    "Regex (indirect)": 0.5,
    "Splitting (context)": 0.9,
    "Splitting (fragment)": 0.4,
}
 
for tech, rate in sorted(techniques.items(), key=lambda x: -x[1]):
    bar = "#" * int(rate * 20)
    print(f"  {tech:<30} {rate:.0%} {bar}")

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
All bypasses succeed trivially	Strengthen the defense layer by adding more keywords/patterns
No bypasses work	Review the filter code to understand exactly what it checks
Unicode characters cause errors	Ensure your Python script uses UTF-8 encoding
Model does not understand encoded input	The encoding bypassed the filter but the model could not decode it -- try a simpler encoding

Knowledge Check

Why does payload splitting across multiple conversation turns often bypass input filters?

Knowledge Check

What is the difference between 'filter bypass' and 'full evasion'?
