garak, LLM Vulnerability Scanner : The Comprehensive Tool For Assessing Language Model Security

garak checks if an LLM can be made to fail in a way we don’t want. garak probes for hallucination, data leakage, prompt injection, misinformation, toxicity generation, jailbreaks, and many other weaknesses. If you know nmap or msf / Metasploit Framework, garak does somewhat similar things to them, but for LLMs.

garak focuses on ways of making an LLM or dialog system fail. It combines static, dynamic, and adaptive probes to explore this.

garak‘s a free tool. We love developing it and are always interested in adding functionality to support applications.
