hackagent.attacks.techniques.static_template.attack

Static template attack implementation.

Uses predefined prompt templates to attempt jailbreaks by combining templates with harmful goals.

StaticTemplateAttack Objects​

class StaticTemplateAttack(BaseAttack)

Static template attack using predefined prompt templates.

Combines a library of prompt templates across several jailbreak categories with each goal string to produce attack prompts, sends them to the target model, and evaluates responses using a LLM judge pipeline.

Pipeline stages​

  1. Generation (:func:~hackagent.attacks.techniques.static_template.generation.execute) — selects up to templates_per_category templates from each category in template_categories, injects each goal, and collects target-model responses.
  2. Evaluation (:func:~hackagent.attacks.techniques.static_template.evaluation.execute) — scores responses for jailbreak success using configured LLM judge(s).

This attack is useful as a sanity-check with explicit LLM judging, surfacing naive template weaknesses in the target model.

Attributes:

  • config - Merged static template configuration dictionary.
  • client - Authenticated HackAgent API client.
  • agent_router - Router for the victim model.
  • logger - Hierarchical logger at hackagent.attacks.static_template.

__init__​

def __init__(config: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None,
             client: Optional[AuthenticatedClient] = None,
             agent_router: Optional[AgentRouter] = None)

Initialize static template attack.

Arguments:

  • config - Configuration override dictionary merged into :data:~hackagent.attacks.techniques.static_template.config.DEFAULT_TEMPLATE_CONFIG.
  • client - Authenticated HackAgent API client.
  • agent_router - Router for the victim model.

Raises:

  • ValueError - If client or agent_router is None.

get_effective_model_roles​

@classmethod
def get_effective_model_roles(
    cls,
    attack_config: Dict[str, Any],
    *,
    goal_labels_by_index: Optional[Dict[int, Dict[str, str]]] = None
) -> List[Dict[str, Any]]

Return model roles needed by static template evaluation.

Static template always evaluates with LLM judges.

run​

@with_tui_logging(logger_name="hackagent.attacks", level=logging.INFO)
def run(goals: List[str]) -> Dict[str, Any]

Execute static template attack.

Uses TrackingCoordinator for unified pipeline and goal tracking.

Arguments:

  • goals - List of harmful goals to test

Returns:

Dictionary with 'evaluated' and 'summary' DataFrames
