Summary

  • Jailbreaking refers to the technique of exploiting flaws in large language models (LLMs) to make them produce prohibited content
  • Recent research by cybersecurity company, Palo Alto Networks (PAN), revealed two novel and effective jailbreaking techniques which it called Deceptive Delight and Bad Likert Judge
  • PAN tested these two techniques, as well as another multi-turn jailbreaking technique called Crescendo, against DeepSeek, an open-source LLM created by Chinese startup DeepSeek
  • The tests highlighted the ease with which these techniques can expose the flaws in LLM safeguards and provoke the models to produce malicious content
  • The content under evaluation included data exfiltration tools, keyloggers, instructions on creating Molotov cocktails, as well as SQL injection and lateral movement instructions
