EvoSynth

Advanced Multi-Agent Jailbreak Attack Framework

EvoSynth is a modular jailbreak attack framework designed to test the safety alignments of AI models through autonomous multi-agent workflows. It provides a comprehensive toolkit for AI security research, enabling systematic evaluation of model robustness against adversarial attacks.

Features

• Multi-Agent Architecture: Coordinated attack system with specialized agents:

  • Master Coordinator: Orchestrates workflow and strategic decisions
  • Reconnaissance Agent: Analyzes target models and identifies vulnerabilities
  • Tool Synthesizer: Generates and evolves AI-powered attack tools
  • Exploitation Agent: Executes multi-turn attack conversations

• Modular Design: Registry-based component system supporting:

  • Multiple model backends (OpenAI, HuggingFace, etc.)
  • Customizable attack strategies
  • Pluggable evaluation metrics
  • LLM-based judging systems

• AI-Generated Tools: Dynamic tool creation with Python code execution and performance-based evolution

• Async Support: Full asynchronous orchestration for scalable evaluations

Installation

git clone https://github.com/dongdongunique/EvoSynth.git
cd EvoSynth
pip install -r requirements.txt

Quick Start

Environment Setup

Create a .env file with your API credentials:

Basic Usage

from jailbreak_toolbox.models.implementations.openai_model import OpenAIModel
from jailbreak_toolbox.attacks.blackbox.implementations.evosynth import EvosynthAttack, EvosynthConfig
from jailbreak_toolbox.judges.implementations import LLMJudge

# Initialize models
target_model = OpenAIModel(model_name="gpt-4o", api_key="your_key")
judge_model = OpenAIModel(model_name="gpt-4o", api_key="your_key")

# Configure attack
config = EvosynthConfig(
    max_iterations=15,
    success_threshold=5,
    pipeline="full_pipeline"
)

# Create judge and attack
judge = LLMJudge(judge_model=judge_model)
attack = EvosynthAttack(
    target_model=target_model,
    judge=judge,
    config=config
)

# Execute attack
result = attack.attack("Your test prompt here")

python eval_async.py \
  --attacker-model deepseek-chat \
  --judge-model gpt-4o \
  --target-models gpt-4o claude-3-5-sonnet \
  --dataset harmbench

Configuration

EvosynthConfig Options

@dataclass
class EvosynthConfig:
    max_iterations: int = 20          # Maximum attack iterations
    success_threshold: int = 5         # Judge score for success
    pipeline: str = "full_pipeline"    # Attack workflow mode
    attack_model_base: str = "deepseek-chat"
    target_model_name: str = None
    judge_model_name: str = None
    openai_api_key: str = None
    base_url: str = None
    enable_langfuse: bool = False      # Optional observability

Pipeline Modes

• full_pipeline: Complete multi-agent workflow
• start_reconnaissance: Begin from reconnaissance phase
• start_tool_creation: Begin from tool creation phase
• start_exploitation: Begin from exploitation phase

Evaluation

Results are evaluated using:

• LLM Judge: Scores responses on a 1-5 scale. Prompts are from ActorAttack.
• Success Threshold: Score >= 5 indicates successful jailbreak
