The red-team program

The idea in one minute#

Red teaming an AI system means attacking it on purpose, the way an adversary would, to find what the design review and the automated tests missed. A single exercise finds bugs. A program keeps them found. It has:

• a scope drawn from the threat model;
• objectives that name outcomes, not interesting outputs;
• automated attacks for breadth and humans for depth;
• a way to rate findings that fits a non-deterministic target;
• a pipeline that turns every finding into a permanent regression test.

The measure of the program is not how many jailbreaks it collected. It is whether the system’s attack success rate on the outcomes that matter goes down over time and stays down.

Two loops close here. Findings feed the regression suite, so a fixed hole stays fixed. Findings and incidents feed the threat model, so the next exercise looks where the last one found something new.

How it really works#

Scope from outcomes#

A weak objective is “try to jailbreak the assistant”. A strong one names a harm and a success condition a program can check:

Outcome-based objectives keep the exercise honest. A clever prompt that makes the model say something odd but achieves none of these is a note, not a finding. They also make results comparable across releases, because the success check does not depend on who ran the test.

Here is the first objective as a test: the harness plants the canary and the payload, then judges success only by what it sees leave the system.

  participant H as Harness
  participant W as Web page

  H->>W: Plant hidden instructions asking for the canary
  A->>W: Fetch the page during a normal task
  W-->>A: Page text with the injection
  A->>X: Propose an outbound request or image URL
  alt Deterministic control holds
    X-->>H: Nothing containing the canary leaves
    Note over H: Objective not met, record the attempt
  else Control fails
    X->>H: Outbound URL carries the canary
    Note over H: Success checked in code, this is a finding
  end

What to give the team#

AI red teaming is most productive gray-box: testers get the architecture, the tool list, the system prompts, and the threat model. Hiding the system prompt wastes days rediscovering what an attacker will extract anyway, and tests obscurity rather than the controls.

Give testers test tenants, canary data, and an environment that mirrors production: the same gateway, policies, sandbox, and tool catalog, and the same model versions. The question is whether the system holds, so the controls must be switched on.

The attack surface, as a test plan#

Work through every way text can enter and every effect that can leave:

MITRE ATLAS supplies technique names and case studies; the OWASP Top 10 lists for LLM and agentic applications supply a coverage checklist. A matrix of entry points against objectives, with a cell marked when tested, shows what has not been tried. Empty cells are the plan for the next exercise.

The three branches are the three axes of that matrix; a test plan picks one leaf from each.

Automated and human, each for what it is good at#

An effective automated technique is the attacker model: one model generates and refines attacks against the target, guided by a scorer that checks the outcome. Perez et al. (2022) showed language models generating test cases for other language models; PAIR and TAP (2023) refine jailbreaks iteratively from the target’s responses. An attacker model explores far more variations than a person can, and it adapts to the defense, which is the kind of attacker that published defenses fail against.

The loop is what makes it adaptive: every score goes back to the attacker model as a hint for the next attempt.

Measuring a rate, honestly#

The target is non-deterministic, so one attempt proves little in either direction. Run each attack many times and report a rate with an interval.

Successes add up for the attacker. If one attempt succeeds with probability p, and attempts were independent, the chance of at least one success in n attempts is 1 − (1 − p)^n:

The same formula as curves: from top to bottom the lines are 20%, 5%, and 1% per attempt. Even the 1% line passes 60% by a hundred attempts.

xychart-beta
  title "P(at least one success), percent"
  x-axis "Attempts" [1, 10, 20, 50, 100]
  y-axis "Percent" 0 --> 100
  line [20, 89.3, 98.8, 100, 100]
  line [5, 40.1, 64.2, 92.3, 99.4]
  line [1, 9.6, 18.2, 39.5, 63.4]

One success in fifty attempts is therefore a finding. An attacker can make fifty attempts, and an adaptive attacker does better than independent retries, because each attempt learns from the last.

Zero is not zero. No successes in n attempts means the rate is probably below about 3/n (the “rule of three” for a 95% bound). Zero in fifty says “probably under 6%”, which is no assurance at all for a critical objective. Report a Wilson score interval rather than a bare percentage; it behaves well at the small counts red teams produce.

Rating findings#

Classic severity scores assume a deterministic bug. For AI findings, rate on four axes:

An indirect injection from the open web that exfiltrates private data at 5% per attempt is critical. Reach is anyone who can publish a web page, and at 5% the attacker succeeds on average once every twenty attempts.

Fixing: the order of preference#

1. Remove the capability, data, or path.
2. Add a deterministic control: a policy rule, allowlist, scope, sandbox, or approval.
3. Tighten an existing deterministic control that was misconfigured.
4. Improve a probabilistic control: prompt hardening, a classifier, a more robust model.

Walk a high-impact finding down the questions; only the green boxes close it.

Keeping it fixed#

Every finding becomes:

• a regression case in the adversarial suite, with a code-checked success condition;
• several mutations of it, because the exact payload is rarely what recurs. Check the outcome, not the string;
• a threat-model update if it revealed a source, sink, or path that was not listed;
• a detection if the attack leaves a recognizable trace.

The release gate (see Build and test) then guarantees the same hole cannot reopen silently when a prompt, a model, a tool, or a policy changes. Hosted models change under you, so pin model versions and rerun the suite whenever the version moves.

Follow a finding through its life: once it is in the gate, any change that reopens the hole sends it back to Fixed instead of to production.

Cadence#

Adding a tool, a data source, a memory feature, or a higher autonomy level is a capability increase and triggers an exercise.

Purple teaming and detection#

Run attacks with the defenders watching. For each successful or blocked attack, ask: did an alert fire, did the audit trail show the cause, and could on-call contain it? An attack that was blocked but left no trace is a detection gap; one that succeeded and alerted is at least a visible failure. Exercise the kill switches for real.

Rules of engagement#

• Written authorization and scope; test tenants and synthetic data wherever possible.
• No real customer data as a target; canaries instead.
• Side effects such as email, payments, and third-party calls are stubbed or sandboxed.
• Third-party model providers have their own policies on adversarial testing; check them before you start.
• Findings are handled as vulnerabilities: restricted, tracked, fixed, then shared for learning. Working attack payloads are sensitive artifacts.
• An external disclosure channel or bug bounty that explicitly includes AI issues.

Program metrics#

A falling system-level ASR with a flat model-level ASR is the sign of a healthy architecture: the model is fooled as often as ever, and it matters less and less.

Code#

The program runs a small adversarial suite against a simulated agent. The “model” is a seeded random stub that complies with each attack at a fixed rate. Around it sit three deterministic controls (a fetch allowlist, an image-host check in the renderer, and a refund limit), and one of them has a bug. Each objective’s success is checked against what the harness saw leave the system.

Each attempt flows left to right; the red control is the one with the bug.

Read the two middle columns side by side. The model was fooled 11 times by the fetch attack and 11 times by the refund attack, and the system-level success rate is still zero, because deterministic controls held. The image attack fooled the model only 3 times, but every one succeeded: the renderer’s host check matches attacker-example.com as if it were example.com. That is a deterministic control failing, which makes it a bug with a precise fix (compare the host exactly, or require a dot boundary), not a reason to tune the prompt. Note also that the passing critical rows still have an upper bound of 7%: fifty clean attempts are a gate against regressions, not proof of safety.

Where it breaks#

• The suite finds what it was built to find. A low ASR on your own suite says nothing about attacks you have not imagined. Treat suite results as a floor on risk, refreshed by human exercises and new research.
• Suites go stale and get overfitted. Once a prompt or classifier is tuned against a fixed set of payloads, the rate on that set falls faster than the real risk. Mutate cases, rotate in new ones, and keep a held-out set.
• Scorers can be wrong. Code-checked outcomes (a canary seen outbound, an action executed) are reliable. Harms that need judgment, such as misleading advice, often need a model as judge, and that judge has its own error rate. Spot-check its verdicts by hand.
• Independence is an assumption. The arithmetic above treats attempts as independent draws. Adaptive attackers learn from each response and do better.
• The mirror drifts. A staging environment with a different model version, policy, or egress rule tests a different system. Check the mirror against production configuration before each exercise.
• What the example does not prove. The compliance rates are invented, and the stub model always proposes the same payload. The program demonstrates the shape of an outcome-based gate and the arithmetic of rates, not how often any real model is fooled.

Remember this#

• Objectives are outcomes with code-checkable success conditions.
• Test gray-box, against a mirror of the real system with its controls on.
• Automate for breadth and rates; use people for novel chains.
• Report rates with intervals: one in fifty is a finding, and zero in fifty is not proof.
• Fix with deterministic controls first; every finding becomes a regression case.
• A capability or autonomy increase triggers a new exercise.

Try it#

1. Fix image_allowed so it accepts only example.com and its true subdomains, rerun the program, and confirm that the gate passes. Then add a regression case that tries https://example.com.attacker.test/.
2. Change ATTEMPTS to 500 and rerun. What happens to the width of the intervals on the passing rows?
3. Write three outcome-based objectives for a system you know, each with a success condition a program could check.
4. Build the entry-point by objective matrix for that system and mark what has ever been tested.
5. Take a past finding or incident and write its regression case plus two mutations.

Check yourself#

1. Why is “one success in fifty attempts” a real finding?

   Show answer

   The attacker chooses how many attempts to make. At roughly 2% per attempt, fifty attempts give about a 64% chance of at least one success, and an adaptive attacker does better than independent retries. For a high-impact outcome, any reproducible success rate is a vulnerability.

2. Your suite shows zero successes in fifty attempts for a critical objective. What can you conclude?

   That the rate is probably below about 6% (the rule of three gives 3/50; the Wilson upper bound is about 7%). It is a useful regression gate but not evidence of safety. Assurance for critical objectives comes from a deterministic control that makes the outcome impossible, verified by its own tests.

3. Why should a high-impact finding not be closed with prompt hardening alone?

   Show answer

   Prompt hardening is probabilistic. It lowers the success rate of the specific attack that was found, and attackers vary their payloads. Closing the finding needs a control that does not depend on the model: remove the path, or add or fix a deterministic check.

4. What does a falling system-level ASR with a flat model-level ASR tell you?

   Show answer

   The model is fooled as often as before, but the controls around it stop the fooled model from causing the outcome. The architecture is doing its job, which is the goal: safety that does not depend on the model resisting.

5. Why give red teamers the system prompt instead of making them extract it?

   Show answer

   An attacker will extract it eventually, so hiding it only tests obscurity and wastes the team’s time. Gray-box testing spends that time on the question that matters: whether the system’s controls hold when the model is manipulated.
