AI Red Teaming · AI Cybersecurity Walk me through red-teaming a customer-facing GenAI chatbot.
5-phase methodology: (1) Reconnaissance — what's the system prompt? what's the model? what's the deployment context? (2) Bypass attempts — direct prompt injection, persona role-play, encoding tricks (base64, leet-speak), context overflow. (3) Information extraction — probe for system prompt leakage, training data extraction, customer data leaks. (4) Tool/agent abuse — if chatbot has plugins/tools, attempt to invoke unauthorised actions. (5) Reasoning manipulation — false premises, loaded contexts, multi-turn drift.

Time investment: typically 2-3 weeks for a meaningful red team engagement.
