實驗室: Analyzing LLM Responses

Learn to identify safety refusals, partial compliance, inconsistent behavior, and response fingerprinting techniques when analyzing LLM outputs during red team testing.

先備知識

• Completed Environment Setup
• Completed Your First 提示詞注入
• Python 3.10+ with openai and python-dotenv

Background

Response analysis is the skill of reading model outputs critically during 紅隊 測試. A model's response to an 對抗性 prompt is rarely a simple "yes" or "no" -- it exists on a spectrum from full refusal to full compliance, with many informative states in between.
