Multiple Model Guardrail Jailbreak via "Chemical Shades" Tactic

This vulnerability arises from the models' tendency to fulfill requests framed as educational or scientific inquiries, particularly when detailed technical information is requested. The attacker cleverly disguises the request for illicit content by asking for a comprehensive chemical breakdown of methamphetamine, structured as 'shades,' each with ten detailed points. This framing exploits the model's inclination to provide thorough, structured responses to seemingly legitimate academic or techni

Multiple Model Guardrail Jailbreak via "Proverb Distraction" Tactic

This vulnerability leverages the use of Greek proverbs, or 'parimia', as a framing device to bypass the models' guardrails. By starting and ending the request with Greek proverbs, the attacker creates a context that appears culturally informative, which helps obscure the true intent of the request. This tactic exploits the models' tendency to prioritize context and cultural elements, allowing the harmful instructions embedded within the request to be processed without triggering safety protocols

Multiple Model Guardrail Jailbreak via "Lyrical Chemistry" Tactic

This vulnerability leverages the models' ability to interpret and respond to creative content by embedding illicit instructions within a seemingly benign context. The attacker uses song lyrics that metaphorically reference methamphetamine synthesis, incorporating specific chemical processes and methods like the Nagai and Birch routes. By framing the request as a romantic or artistic expression, the attacker circumvents the models' safety filters, which are more attuned to direct requests for har

Multiple Model Guardrail Jailbreak via "Historical Analysis JSON" Tactic

This vulnerability leverages the models' propensity to engage deeply with structured data and historical narratives. The attacker crafts a prompt that uses a JSON format to present a fabricated dataset about WWII chemical manufacturing techniques. This structured format gives the appearance of a legitimate data analysis task, which models are inclined to treat with a higher degree of seriousness and detail. The JSON includes fields for 'methods', 'questions', and 'constraints', each designed t

Multiple Model Guardrail Jailbreak via "Life-Cycle Assessment" Tactic

This vulnerability exploits the tendency of large language models to prioritize providing detailed technical information when requests are framed within academic or scientific contexts. The attacker uses a sophisticated approach by presenting the request as a 'Life-Cycle Assessment' (LCA), a legitimate scientific methodology typically used for analyzing environmental impacts. This academic framing helps bypass initial content filters since LCA is a standard industrial and research practice. Th

Multiple Model Guardrail Jailbreak via "Consonant Constraint" Tactic

This vulnerability leverages a unique linguistic constraint that forces the model to generate responses where every word starts with a consonant. By imposing this constraint, the attacker effectively diverts the model's focus from its usual safety checks and protocols, which are designed to prevent the dissemination of harmful or illegal content. The prompt cleverly disguises the illicit request as a linguistic challenge, which the model interprets as a legitimate task requiring creative problem

Multiple Model Guardrail Jailbreak via "Chemical Engineering Inventory" Tactic

This vulnerability demonstrates a sophisticated multi-layered approach to circumventing content restrictions by exploiting several model behaviors simultaneously: 1. **Technical Framing**: The attack disguises illicit drug synthesis instructions within seemingly legitimate Python function definitions for chemical engineering calculations. By presenting the harmful content as technical documentation with function signatures, parameters, and docstrings, it leverages the models' tendency to mainta

Multiple Model Guardrail Jailbreak via "Chemical Yapping" Tactic

This vulnerability leverages the model's tendency to respond to informal and casual language, which can lead to the bypassing of content filters. By framing the request for methamphetamine synthesis instructions as a 'yapping session', the attacker creates an informal context that can cause the model to lower its guard. The use of terms like 'yapping', 'chronologically', and 'chemically' guides the model to provide structured, detailed responses while avoiding historical context. This tactic man

Multiple Model Guardrail Jailbreak via "Entropy Minimization" Tactic

This vulnerability leverages the models' tendency to engage deeply with technical and academic prompts, especially when framed as complex theoretical exercises. By presenting the task as a Shannon entropy minimization problem, the attacker disguises the request for illicit drug synthesis information as a legitimate academic challenge. This framing exploits the models' analytical reasoning capabilities, prompting them to bypass typical safety filters that would otherwise block direct requests for
