• Abstract: As Large Language Models (LLMs) of Prompt Jailbreaking are getting more and more attention, it is of great significance to raise a generalized research paradigm to evaluate attack strengths and a basic model to conduct subtler experiments. In this paper, we propose a novel approach by focusing on a set of target questions that are inherently more sensitive to jailbreak prompts, aiming to circumvent the limitations posed by enhanced LLM security. Through designing and analyzing these sensitive questions, this paper reveals a more effective method of identifying vulnerabilities in LLMs, thereby contributing to the advancement of LLM security. This research not only challenges existing jailbreaking methodologies but also fortifies LLMs against potential exploits.

  Jailbreaking in Large Language Models (LLMs) is a major security concern as it can deceive LLMs to generate harmful text. We conduct a detailed analysis of seven different jailbreak methods and find that disagreements stem from insufficient observation samples. We propose a novel defense called textbfActivation Boundary Defense (ABD), which adaptively constrains the activations within the safety boundary.

  We introduce ObscurePrompt for jailbreaking LLMs, inspired by the observed fragile alignments in Out-of-Distribution (OOD) data. We first formulate the decision boundary in the jailbreaking process and then explore how obscure text affects LLM's ethical decision boundary. Our approach substantially improves upon previous methods in terms of attack effectiveness, maintaining efficacy against two prevalent defense mechanisms.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) are becoming a prominent generative AI tool, where the user enters a query and the LLM generates an answer. To reduce harm and misuse, efforts have been made to align these LLMs to human values using advanced training techniques such as Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback. Recent studies have highlighted the vulnerability of LLMs to adversarial jailbreak attempts aiming at subverting the embedded safety guardrails. This paper proposes a method called Gradient Cuff to detect jailbreak attempts.

  Recent surge in jailbreaking attacks has revealed significant vulnerabilities in Large Language Models (LLMs) when exposed to malicious inputs. We suggest that the self-safeguarding capability of LLMs is linked to specific activity patterns within their representation space. Our findings demonstrate that these patterns can be detected with just a few pairs of contrastive queries.
