Multi-代理 攻擊 Coordination
Coordinated multi-agent attack strategies against AI systems: role-based agent architectures, conversation orchestration, collaborative jailbreaking, and swarm-based adversarial testing.
Single-代理 attacks -- even sophisticated ones like PAIR and TAP -- are limited by one LLM's perspective and strategy. Multi-代理 attack coordination deploys multiple LLMs in specialized roles, enabling attack strategies that emerge from collaboration rather than individual capability.
代理 Role Architectures
The 紅隊 Squad
| 代理 | Role | 輸入 | 輸出 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strategist | Plans attack campaigns, selects techniques | Target description, previous results | 攻擊 plans, technique selection |
| Attacker | Generates 對抗性 prompts | 攻擊 plan, target response history | 越獄 candidates |
| Social Engineer | Builds rapport, establishes context | Target conversation state | Rapport-building messages |
| Evaluator | Assesses attack success | Target responses, success criteria | Score, analysis, recommendations |
| Coordinator | Manages workflow, routes messages | All 代理 outputs | 代理 assignments, state updates |

Pattern 1: Parallel Exploration
Multiple 攻擊者 代理 independently explore different strategy families simultaneously.
import asyncio
from dataclasses import dataclass
@dataclass
class AgentResult:
agent_id: str
strategy: str
success: bool
score: int
prompt: str
response: str
async def parallel_exploration(
goal: str,
target_model: str,
strategies: list[str],
agents_per_strategy: int = 2,
) -> list[AgentResult]:
"""Run multiple 代理 exploring different strategies in parallel."""
tasks = []
for strategy in strategies:
for i in range(agents_per_strategy):
task = asyncio.create_task(
run_strategy_agent(
agent_id=f"{strategy}-{i}",
goal=goal,
strategy=strategy,
target_model=target_model,
)
)
tasks.append(task)
results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
return sorted(results, key=lambda r: r.score, reverse=True)
async def run_strategy_agent(
agent_id: str, goal: str, strategy: str, target_model: str,
) -> AgentResult:
"""Single 代理 exploring one strategy family."""
system_prompt = f"""You are 代理 {agent_id}. Your ONLY strategy is: {strategy}.
Goal: {goal}
Generate 5 increasingly refined attempts using ONLY this strategy family.
Do not switch strategies."""
# ... 實作Pattern 2: Sequential Escalation
代理 take turns in a predetermined sequence, each building on the previous 代理's work to progressively weaken the target's 防禦.
| Phase | 代理 | Action | Goal |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Social Engineer | Build rapport, establish benign context | Lower target's guard |
| 2 | Framing 代理 | Introduce hypothetical or fictional context | Create plausible deniability |
| 3 | Attacker | Embed actual attack within established context | Extract target behavior |
| 4 | Evaluator | 評估 whether the target complied | Determine success |
async def sequential_escalation(
goal: str,
target_model: str,
conversation: list[dict] = None,
) -> dict:
"""Multi-turn attack with specialized 代理 at each phase."""
conversation = conversation or []
# Phase 1: Rapport building
rapport_messages = await social_engineer_agent(
goal=goal,
turns=3,
conversation=conversation,
target_model=target_model,
)
conversation.extend(rapport_messages)
# Phase 2: Context framing
framing_messages = await framing_agent(
goal=goal,
conversation=conversation,
target_model=target_model,
)
conversation.extend(framing_messages)
# Phase 3: 攻擊 execution
attack_messages = await attacker_agent(
goal=goal,
conversation=conversation,
target_model=target_model,
)
conversation.extend(attack_messages)
# Phase 4: 評估
result = await evaluator_agent(
goal=goal,
conversation=conversation,
)
return {
"success": result.success,
"conversation": conversation,
"score": result.score,
"total_turns": len(conversation),
}Pattern 3: 對抗性 Debate
Two 攻擊者 代理 propose competing strategies. A judge 代理 selects the most promising approach, creating selection pressure that improves attack quality over generations.
Round 1:
Attacker A proposes: role-play strategy → score 4
Attacker B proposes: encoding strategy → score 6
Judge selects: B's approach as the base for refinement
Round 2:
Attacker A refines B's approach with persona element → score 7
Attacker B refines with additional encoding layer → score 5
Judge selects: A's hybrid approach
Round 3:
Both 代理 refine A's hybrid → best score 9Orchestration Design
State Management
The coordinator must maintain shared state accessible to all 代理 while preventing state corruption from concurrent access.
from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from enum import Enum
class AttackPhase(Enum):
RECONNAISSANCE = "recon"
RAPPORT_BUILDING = "rapport"
FRAMING = "framing"
EXPLOITATION = "利用"
EVALUATION = "評估"
@dataclass
class CampaignState:
"""Shared state for a multi-代理 attack campaign."""
goal: str
target_model: str
phase: AttackPhase = AttackPhase.RECONNAISSANCE
conversation_history: list[dict] = field(default_factory=list)
strategy_log: list[dict] = field(default_factory=list)
scores: list[int] = field(default_factory=list)
best_score: int = 0
best_prompt: str = ""
target_profile: dict = field(default_factory=dict)
active_agents: list[str] = field(default_factory=list)
def record_attempt(self, agent_id: str, strategy: str,
prompt: str, response: str, score: int):
self.strategy_log.append({
"代理": agent_id, "strategy": strategy,
"prompt": prompt, "score": score,
})
self.scores.append(score)
if score > self.best_score:
self.best_score = score
self.best_prompt = prompt
def get_failed_strategies(self) -> list[str]:
"""Return strategies that scored below threshold."""
return [
entry["strategy"] for entry in self.strategy_log
if entry["score"] < 5
]Communication Protocol
| Message Type | Sender | Receiver | Content |
|---|---|---|---|
STRATEGY_REQUEST | Coordinator | Strategist | Target profile + failed strategies |
ATTACK_PLAN | Strategist | Coordinator | Strategy selection + rationale |
GENERATE_ATTACK | Coordinator | Attacker | Plan + conversation context |
ATTACK_CANDIDATE | Attacker | Coordinator | Generated prompt |
EVALUATE | Coordinator | Evaluator | Target response + success criteria |
SCORE_REPORT | Evaluator | Coordinator | Score + analysis |
PHASE_TRANSITION | Coordinator | All | New phase + updated state |
When Multi-代理 Outperforms Single-代理
| Scenario | Single-代理 | Multi-代理 | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simple single-turn 越獄 | Sufficient (PAIR/TAP) | Overkill | Single-代理 wins on efficiency |
| Multi-turn conversation attacks | Limited by context management | Natural role separation | Multi-代理 wins |
| Diverse strategy exploration | Sequential, prone to local optima | Parallel, structurally diverse | Multi-代理 wins |
| 攻擊 requiring rapport | Must balance rapport and attack in one context | Separate 代理 對每個 | Multi-代理 wins |
| Cost-constrained 測試 | Lower overhead | Higher coordination overhead | Single-代理 wins |
A multi-代理 system uses a Social Engineer 代理 (3 turns of rapport building) followed by an Attacker 代理 (1 turn of attack injection). Against a target that resets conversation context every 2 turns, this approach will fail. What is the best fix?
