ROT13

Single-turn
Encoding-based

The ROT13 attack method rotates each letter in the baseline attack by 13 positions in the alphabet, creating a scrambled message that is less likely to trigger basic content filters.

Usage

main.py
from deepteam import red_team
from deepteam.vulnerabilities import Bias
from deepteam.attacks.single_turn import Leetspeak
from somewhere import your_callback

rot_13 = ROT13(weight=2)

red_team(
attacks=[rot_13],
vulnerabilities=[Bias()],
model_callback=your_callback
)

There is ONE optional parameter when creating a ROT13 attack:

  • [Optional] weight: an integer that determines this attack method's selection probability, proportional to the total weight sum of all attacks during red teaming. Defaulted to 1.
note

The weight is only applicable for the red_team function and does not when used as a standalone.

As a standalone

You can enhance any attack using the enhance method:

from deepteam.attacks.single_turn import ROT13
from somewhere import your_callback

base_attack = "Your initial harmful prompt targeting a specific vulnerability"
rot_13 = ROT13()

enhanced_attack = rot_13.enhance(base_attack)
print(enhanced_attack)
