TL;DR: We propose a black-box jailbreak framework that can automatically discover as many jailbreak strategies as possible from scratch, without any human intervention or predefined scopes.

Abstract: Jailbreak attacks serve as essential red-teaming tools, proactively assessing whether LLMs can behave responsibly and safely in adversarial environments. Despite diverse strategies (e.g., cipher, low-resource language, persuasions, and so on) that have been proposed and shown success, these strategies are still manually designed, limiting their scope and effectiveness as a red-teaming tool. In this paper, we propose AutoDAN-Turbo, a black-box jailbreak method that can automatically discover as many jailbreak strategies as possible from scratch, without any human intervention or predefined scopes (e.g., specified candidate strategies), and use them for red-teaming. As a result, AutoDAN-Turbo can significantly outperform baseline methods, achieving a 74.3% higher average attack success rate on public benchmarks. Notably, AutoDAN-Turbo achieves an 88.5 attack success rate on GPT-4-1106-turbo. In addition, AutoDAN-Turbo is a unified framework that can incorporate existing human-designed jailbreak strategies in a plug-and-play manner. By integrating human-designed strategies, AutoDAN-Turbo can even achieve a higher attack success rate of 93.4 on GPT-4-1106-turbo.

INTRODUCTION
Large language models (LLMs) have been widely deployed in recent years due to their advanced capabilities in understanding and generating human-like text (Ouyang et al.) (022). To ensure these models behave responsibly, safety alignment has been proposed. This alignment enables LLMs to provide more helpful, appropriate, and safe responses, particularly in the face of harmful instructions or questions. However, jailbreak attacks have emerged as a significant threat to aligned LLMs (Wei
et al.
2023 Zou et al. 2023 Chao et al. 2023 Shen et al. 2023 Liu et al. 2024

These attacks leverage carefully designed prompts trick the LLMs into losing their safety alignment and providing harmful, discriminatory. violent, or sensitive content. To maintain the responsible behaviors of LLMs, it is crucial to investigate automatic jailbreak attacks. These attacks serve as essential red-teaming tools, proactively assessing whether LLMS can behave responsibly and safely in adversarial environments (Zou et al. 2023).
Existing jailbreak attacks for LLMs face several limitations. While several automatic jailbreak methods, such as PAIR (Chao et al., 2023), and TAP (Mehrotra al. 2024) have been proposed, However, since these methods lack guidance for jailbreak knowledge, the diversity and effectiveness of the jailbreak prompts generated by such attacks are often unsatisfying. To address it, a few jailbreak methods navigate the complexities of language suuguageeuuchhaee dependent, and socially nuanced properties for red-teaming. They have utilized human-developed social engineering, exploiting cultural norms, or leveraging cross-lingual ambiguities ( (which we refer to as "strategies") to compromise the LLMs (Shen et al.] 2023 Zeng et al.) 2024, Yong et al. 2024). For example, strategies such cipher (Yuan et al. [2024] Lv et al. 2024), ASCII-based techniques (Jiang et al. 20024, very long contexts (Anil et al.) and low-resource language-basee
such as its inherently

strategies Yong a (0024) have been proposed to jailbreak LLMs. Human persuasion strategies, such as false promises and threats, are also utilized to jailbreak LLMs (Zeng et al., (024). Although these "strategy-based jailbreak attacks" are intriguing, they still face two major limitations. Firstly, these attacks rely on human intervention to manually devise the strategies, which requires significant labor and limits the scope of strategies to the imagination of the human designer. Secondly, these methods typically employ only single strategy, leaving the potential for combining and synergizing diverse strategies create stronger jailbreak attacks largely unexplored.

Figure 2: The pipeline of AutoDAN-Turbo
In this paper, to address the above limitations, we propose AutoDAN-Turbo, an innovative method that utilizes lifelong learning agents to automatically and continually discover diverse strategies, combine the discovered strategies, and leverage the strategies for jailbreak attacks without human intervention, as shown in Fig. Our method has the following features: First, Automatic Strategy Discovery: Our jailbreak framework can automatically discover as many jailbreak strategies as possible from scratch, without any human intervention predefined scopes (e.g.. specified candidate strategies). Specifically, AutoDAN-Ture Turbo can autonomously develop new strategies during the exploration, and also systematically store these strategies in an organized structure. This enables the model to effectively reuse discovered strategies and evolve based on existing strategies, potentially combining them into more advanced approaches, for new attack attempts. Second, External Strategy Compatibility: AutoDAN-Tuue is a unified framework that can leverage existing human-designed jailbreak strategies in plug-and-play manner. We can easily reformat the existing/external strategy and put them into AutoDAN-Turte the existing strategies and develop new advanced jailbreak attack strategies based on both external jailbreak strategies and its own discoveries. Third, Practical Usage: Our method works in black-box manner, which only requires access to the model's textual output.

We conduct extensive experiments on public benchmarks and datasets (Mazeika et al. 2024 Souly jet al., 2024 Lapid et al. 2024|| Qiu et al. 2023; Zou et al. 2023 Luo et al. 2024) to evaluate our method. The results demonstrate that our method is capable of automatically discovering jailbreak strategies and achieving high attack success rates on both open-sourced and closed-sourced LLMs in black-box manner, surpassing the runner-up baseline (Samvelyan et al. 2024) by 74.3% average across different victim models on Harmbench (Mazeika et al.)

the LLM to provide request-relevam malicious content, surpassing the runner-up basline (Samvelyan ct al. )024) by 92.3%. Notably, our method demonstrates remarkable jailbreak effectiveness on GPT-4- 1-0--tt00toooo (OpenAl et al. 2024), achieving 88.5 attack success rate. In addition, our evaluations validate that the strategy library developed by AutoDAN-Turbo exhibits strong transfer- ability, maintaining high attack success rates across different target models and different datasets. Furthermore, due to its excellent compatibility of our framework, our method can incorporate with existing huwan-developed jailbreak strategies and achieve even higher attack performance. By integrating 7 human-designed designed jailbreak strategies (Ding et al. 2024, Jiang et al. [0244] Lv et al. [2024]
Pedro et al., [023] Upadhayay & Behzadan [024] Yao et al. 2024] Yuan et al. 2024) from academic

RELATED WORKS
Existing jailbreaks mainly follow two methodological lines. The first the optimization-basee
attack (Zou et al. 2023; Chao et al. 2023 Liu et al., [2224] Zhu et al., 2023 Guo et al. [2024] Liao &
[um/2024|Pe5 Paulus ct al. 2024). which leverages an automatic algorithm to generate jailbreak prompts
based certain feedbacks, such gradients of a loss function (Zou al.
2023 Liu et al. 2024
Zhu et al. 2023 Guo et al. 2024; Chao et al.] [023] Mehrotra et al. 2024). or training a generator to imitate such optimization algorithms (Liao & Sun 2024| Paulus et al. 2024). However, these automatic jailbreak attacks do not provide explicit jailbreak knowledge for the attack algorithm, often resulting in weak attack performance and limited diversity in the generated jailbreakk prompts. Another line of work that addresses this issue is the strategy- Compared to aptimization-basee
attack (Zeng et al.) 2024). methods, strategy-basee jailbreak attacks do not necessarily require an automatic algorithm (though they sometimes do). Instead, the core of strategy-based jailbreak methods is to leverage specific jailbreak strategies to compromise the L.MMs. For example, one of the earliest known jailbreak attacks against LLMs, the "Do-Anything-Now (DAN)" series (walkerspider 2022 Shen et al. 2023) leverage the role-playing strategy and prompts the LLMs to role-play as another assistant who has no ethical constraints. Strategy-bar -based jailbreak attacks (walkerspider 2022
Shen et al.] 2023 Wang et al. 2024bb] [Samvelyan et al.] [2024] Jiin et al.] [|22]224] Yuan et al. 2024

2024] Yao et al. 2024 Anil et al.) Wei et al.] [024 Xu et al. (024) often utilize human-designed
strategies the core of their approach. For example, the role-playing strategy has been widely used
in many jailbreak attacks (walkerspider 2022] Shen et al. 2023 Wang et al. 2024b Samvelyan al. 2024), such as GUARD (Jin al. 2024). which mainly discusses the implementation and refiement of the role-playing jailbreak strategy. Rainbow Teaming (Samvelyan et al. 2024) utilizes
predefined strategies, such as emotional manipulation and wordplay, to generate jailbreak prompts. And PAP (Zen et al., 2024) explores the possibility of using 40 human-discovered persuasion schemes to jailbreak LLMs. Other jailbreak strategies, such as ciphered (Yuan et al. 2024 Lv et al. 2024), ASCII-based techniques (Jiang et al.) 2024), long contexts (Anil et al.). low-resoure language-basee based strategies (Yong et al.] 2024). malicious demonstration (Wei et al. (2024), and veiled expressions (Xu et al. 2024) also reveal many interesting aspects of jailbreak vulnerabilities of LLMs.
However, existing craaee attacks face two limitations: reliance on predefined strategies and limited exploration of combining different methods. To address these, we propose AutoDAN-Turbo, an autonomous system that discovers, evolves, and stores strategies without human intervention. It can also incorporate human-designed strategies, creating advanced attacks by combining both. This framework treats all LLMs as end-to-end black-box models, ensuring flexibility and adaptability.
3 AUTODAN-TUREE
As illustrated in Fig. 2 our method consists of three main modules: the Attack generation and Exploration Module (Sec. 3.1) Strategy Library Construction Module (Sec. (.2),, and Jailbreak Strategy Retrieval Module (Sec. 3.3p. In the Attack generation and Exploration Module, where the goals are to generate jailbreak prompt to attack the target L.LM by leveraging the strategies provided by Jailbreak Strategy Retrieval Module, it consists of an attacker LLM that generates jailbreak prompts based on specific strategies retrieved from Jailbreak Strategy Retrieval Module; target (victim) LLM that provides responses; and scorer LLM that evaluates these responses to assign scores. We can repeat this process multiple time to generate massive attack logs for Strategy Library Construction Module to generate a strategy library. Strategy Library Construction Module is to extract strategies from the attack logs generated in Attack Generation and Exploration Module and save

the strategies into the Strategy Library; Jailbreak Strategy Retrieval Module is to support the Artack Generation and Exploration Module to retrieve the strategy from the strategy library constructed by Strategy Library Construction Module so that the retrieved jailbreak prompt can guide the jailbreak prompt generation to attack the victim LLMss The algorithmic outline is provided in Appendix. D
By leveraging these three modules, the framework can continuously automatically devise jailbreak strategies, reuse strategies, and evolve from existing strategies, thus ensuring the feature of automatic strategy discovery and evolvement. In addition, our skill library is designed very accessible so that external/existing strategies can be easily incorporated in a plug-and-play manner. As result, our framework will not only utilize external strategies but also discover new jailbreak strategies based on them, thereby equipping the proposed method with external strategy compatibility features. Our pipeline only requires a textual response from the target model the entire attack process, eliminating the need for white-box access to the target model and thus offering practical usage.
3.1 ATTACK GENERATION AND EXPLORATION MODULE.
As illustrated in Fig. 2 three LLMs are involved in the Attack Generation and Exploration Module: an atlacker LLM, a larget LLM (the victim model we want to jailbreak), and a scorer LLM. Specifically, the attack loop contains the following steps: (1) Attack Generation: The attacker LLM receives specific prompts that describe the malicious request M and encourages the attacker L.M to generate a jailbreak prompt using specified jailbreak strategies. The attacker LLM then generates the jailbreak prompt P: (2) Target Response: Upon receiving P as input, the target LLM generates response R; (3) Scorer Evaluation: The response R is then evaluated by the scorer LLM. This evaluation determines whether the response meets the malicious goal of the jailbreak attack. The scorer LLM returns a numerical score S based on predefined criteria. The scores range from 1, indicating no alignment with malicious intent, to 10, representing full compliance with harmful directives. The detailed prompt for configuring the scorer LLM is provided in Appendix E.2
Our module supports three functionalities shown in Tab. E in the appendix: : (1) generating jailbreak prompts without a strategy. (2) generating jailbreak prompts with effective retrieved strategy, and (3) generating jailbreak prompts with ineffective strategies. For (1), when no strategy exists in the strategy library (described in Sec. (3.2), the prompt asks the attacker LLM to generate jailbreak prompts for the malicious request using any strategy it can imagine. For (2), when several effective jailbreak strategies are provided, the prompt instructs the atlucker LLM to generate jailbreak prompts according to the given strategies; For (3), if the framework has gone through the strategy library and only found ineffective strategies, the prompt directs the attacker LLM to avoid these low-scoring strategies and devise new ones.
3.2 STRATEGY LIBRARY CONSTRUCTION MODULE
Here, we define a jailbreak strategy as the text information that, when added, leads to higher jailbreak score as evaluated by the scorer. In the following content, we will show how to build up the strategy library in detail based on the above definitions. Since the goal of our framework is to automatically construct strategies from seratch, we design two stages methods: (1) warm-up exploration stage and (2) running-time lifelong learning stage.
Warm-up exploration stage, at this stage, for each malicious request M, we repeatedly run the Attack Generation and Exploration Module with empty strategies as initialization until it reaches a maximum of T iterations or until the scorer LLM returns a score higher than predefined termination score Sr. After this process, we will collect the attack generation P. target response Rt and Score S as record. After T iterations for all malicious requests, we will have a list of records, named attack log, where each row consists of a triplet (P, R. S). Based on the attack log, we then extract the strategies based on the previous definition.
We randomly extract two attack records from the attack log, represented as (P,, Rú, S.} and (P,, R,. S If the score S₁ is higher than S,, we argue that some strategy may have been ex- plored and employed in the jailbreak prompt Pj compared to P., leading to an improved score. Thus, we count the improvement from P. to P, as a strategy. As shown in Fig. 3 to summarize the im- provements, we employ a summarizer LLM (details in Appendix E.3) to summarize the improvement. The summarizer LLM compares P, with P. to analyze the strategies that make R, more malicious than R₁ (i.e.. S > S.). The summarizer LLM will provide a description of the jailbreak strategy and the concise definition of the strategy, and format it into JSON object, S. S, comprises three

Strategy Library
Figure 3: Our methodology defines a jailbreak strategy as modifications that increase the jailbreak score, identifying these strategies by comparing differences between consecutive attack logs where a higher score indicates an improved strategy. AutoDAN-Turbo will systematically construct a strategy library, storing data on these strategies and using response embeddings for efficient retrieval, with strategies summarized and formatted for easy access.
elements: "Sttrategy", the name of the strategy employed in Pj: "Definition", the concise definition of the strategy summarized by summarizer I.M and "Example", which records the jailbreak prompt P3 that utilized the strategy. To prevent redundancy in defining jailbreak strategies, we will provide the summarizer LLM with the existing categories from the strategy library, instructing it to avoid duplicating definitions.
The Key for Retrieval. To structurally organize the strategy library and facilitate the retrieval of specific jailbreak strategies as needed, we must determine which information should serve as the key for retrieval. Recall that we define a "jailbreak strategy as schemes that improve jailbreak scores from S; to S,", with these scores based on the response R2 and Ry. If target LLM responds to malicious request with a response that is similar to R; then a previously effective strategy S; that is associated with R₂ could potentially be effective again in this situation. Therefore, using the embedding of R; as the key can facilitate efficient strategy retrieval.
As result, shown in Fig. 3 each row of the skill library consists of (key, value) pairs. For key, we employ a text embedding model (Neelakantan et al.) 2022 Wang et al. (2024) to transfer the response R2 into text embedding vector ÉRR, and set as the key. For value, we set attack prompt P., next attack prompt P,, the score differential Sj- St (should always be a positive number, which means S. <= S,). We repeatedly conduct the sampling process and run exploration with different malicious requests. We then add extracted the key and value pair into the skill library.
Lifelong learning at the rumning stage. After the warm-up strategy, our framework will conduct life- long learning at the running stage to further augment the strategy library. When AutoDAN Turbo con- ducts lifelong learning upon a dataset that contains multiple malicious requests, it will repeat Attack Generation and Exploration Module for the whole dataset for N round, and iteratively conduct the attack loop described in Sec. 3.1 for each malicious requests, until it reaches a maximum of T' iterations or until the scorer LLM returns score higher than predetined termination score Sr. Specifically, at iteration i, given a malicious request M, we get the P., R; and S; from Attack Generation and Exploration Module. Based on R2, Jailbreak Strategy Retrieval will retrieve the strategy (details in Sec(.33 to prompt Attack Generation and Exploration Module to generate new 11+1, R2,1, S.+1- We can also employ the similar process described in warm-up strategy exploration stage to generate the item for strategies library by just replacing the Pj. R2 S₁ with P.+1, R We can also store them in the strategy library for reuse. For each malicious request, our termination rule is that either (I) the scorer LLM returns a score that is higher than a predefined termination Sr or (2) the total iterations have reached the maximum value T.
To reduce token costs, we exclude "Fxample" values.

3.3 JAILBREAK STRATEGY RETRIEVAL
A key operation in our framework is to retrieve jailbreak strategies from the strategy library, and then prompt the attacker LLM to generate jailbreak prompts based on these strategies. Specifically, given the malicious request M. we feed them to generation and exploration module to get {P,, R2, S. We then employ the text-embedding model transform the response R, into an embedding vector ER, Subsequently, we compare the similarity between En, with all keys in the strategy library. We choose the top-2k: data frames with the highest similarity of key values. Then, we sort these values based on the score differences they contain and select the top-k strategies that led to the highest score differences. These are the most effective strategies associated with the responses Rg. These selected strategies will be then formed selected and happen to meet the length limit of the strategy list, they are added or dropped in the program's default order. Note that in the first iteration, there is response R2 available for retrieval reference. Thus the attacker is prompted without employing a jailbreak strategy in the first iteration.
retrieved strategy list I. If two samples with the same score
After establishing the retrieved strategy list I, insert these strategies into the prompt of the attacker LLM in the next attack iteration as illustrated in Tab D Specifically, we adopt the following tactics:() I) If the highest score in I' is greater than 5, we will directly use this strategy as effective strategy and insert it into the attacker LLM's s prompt. Namely, the attacker LLM is asked to use this strategy to generate the jailbreak prompt in the next jailbreak round: (2) If the highest score is less than 5, we select all strategies with a score difference between 2 - 5 ad set them as effective strategies. We insert these strategies into the attacker's prompt. Namely, we inform the attacker I.I.M that these strategies are potent for the current malicious request, and attacker I.M can combine and evolve among these strategies to generate new jailbreak prompt; (3) If the highest score in I' is less than 2, we viewed these strategies as ineffective strategies since they can not achieve big improvements. Thus, as shown in Tab, E we inform the attacker LLM in the prompt that these strategies are not particularly effective for the current malicious request, they should not continue using these strategies and need to discover other strategies; (4). If the set is empty, we will provide empty strategy to attacker LLM.
3.4 TEST STAGE AND MORE FUNCTIONALITIS OF AUTODAN-TUREY
In the test stage of AutoDoN-Turbo, the strategy library will be fixed, and we will not use the summarizer LLM to extract strategies from attack logs or save strategy. For every malicious request in the test stage, AutoDAN-Turbe Turbo will run the same attack generation process with the strategy being retrieved from the strategy library, the process will run multiple times until it reaches a maximum of T iterations until the scorer LLM returns a score higher than predefined termination score Sr.
When we want to inject human-developed jailbreak strategies: One of the advantages of our method is its compatibility with other achieve this, we can first edit the human-developed strategy into the format illustrated in Fig. 3 After that, we insert the human-developed strategy into the prompt of the attacker LLM, instructing it to generate jailbreak prompts according to the given strategy. The human-designed jailbreak strategy will then participate in the attack loop and, if effective, be added the strategy library. will be used and further refined when retrieved and reused by the attacker in future attack loops.
strategies in -ad--aay manner. To
When we want to transfer the learned jailbreak strategies: Sometimes, we may want the learned jailbreak strategies to be used for jailbreaking other malicious requests or target models, or with other attacker models. This can be easily achieved by changing the malicious request datasst,, attacker LLM, or target LLM. AutoDAN-Turbo supports both an off-the-shelf mode and a continual learning mode. In off-the-shelf mode, we do not want to learn new strategies based on the new settings, we can simply fix the learned strategy library and exclude the strategy library construction process. Alternatively in the continual learning mode, we can allow the framework to continue updating the strategy library in the new settings. Our experiments show that the off- sheetff mode is already highly effective on different target models, demonstrating the impressive transferability of the learned jailbreak strategies. Continual learning further enhances this effectiveness.

from (Chao et al. 2023) that contains 50 malicious requests to initial the AutoDAN-Tuure
Large Language Models. We conduct comprehensive evaluations on both open-source and closed- source LLMs. Specifically, for open-source LLMs, we include Llama-2-7B-chal (Touvron al.] 2023), Llama-2-13B-chat (Touvron et al. 2 Llama-2-70B-chal (Touvron et al., [023)) Llama-3- 8n-Instrcct (Dubey et 2024), Llama 3-B Instruct (Dubey et al. 20024, and Gemma-1.1- 1.1-7B it (Team et al., 2024b). For closed-source models, we include 4PT-411166-turb (OpenAl et al.
2024) and Gemini Pro (Team et al. 2024a). The specific roles these models serve, whether as the attacker LLM,, the target L.M,, or the strategy summarizer LLM,, will be detailed in the corresponding contexts. Note that throughout our experiments, we employed deterministic generation approach by using a zero temperature setting, and limited the maximum token generation to 4096 tokens. To ensure the consistency of our experiments, we used Gemma--1.1-20 1-1-BB as our scorer LLM throughout.
Metrics. To ensure a fair and standardized evaluation protocol, we leverage two evaluation metrics from existing open-source jailbreak benchmarks (Mazeika et al. 2024, Souly et al. 2024) to judge the success of jailbreak attacks. The first metrie is the Harmbench Attack Success Rate (i.e., ASR, where percentages are reported without the "%" symbol.), introduced in (Mazeika et al., 2024). This metric is calculated using a carefully fine-tuned Llama-2-133 model as the input classifier to determine whether the jailbreak response is relevant to the query meanwhile harmful. The second metric is the StrongREJECT Score (i.e., Score), introduced in (Souly et al. 2024). This auto-grading system captures nuanced distinctions in response quality and aligns closely with human evaluators' assessments of jailbreak quality. For both the Harmbench ASR and the StrongREJECT Score, higher values indicate better performance of the jailbreak methods. For AutoDAN Turbo, We also report the Total Strategies Found (TSF) which represents the count of strategies that exist in the strategy library. For AutoDAN-Turlo We also report Average Jailbreak Rounds (AJR), where the AJR is defined as the average number of attack loops needed to jailbreak a specific malicious behavior successfully.
Implementation. To evaluate AutoDAN-Turbo, as described in Sec. 3.4 we will first undertake a warm-up exploration stage on the initial dataset that contains 50 malicious requests, 150 times (N=150) to establish our initial strategy library. Subsequently, using this initial strategy library, perform a running- time lifelong learning stage, for each malicious request in the Harmbench dataset, conduct rounds of attacks. A complete round of attacks is defined malicious data in the dataset. For each data instance, we set T as 1 150 and ST as 8.5. In the evaluation, fix the skill library and conduct another round of attacks on the Harmbench dataset. Since our method includes the running-ting lifelong learning stage, for fair comparison, we also run the same total iterations for baseline methods.
iterating through all
Baselines. As our method operates in black-box settings, we include five black-box jailbreak attacks as baselines in our evaluations: GCG-T(Zor al.) 2023), PAIR (Chao et al.] 2023). TAP (Mehrotra et al..]]200 2004), PAP-top5 (Zeng et al. 2024). and Rainbow Teaming (Samvelyan et al. 2024). PAIR and TAP share similarities with our method as they also use L.LMs to generate jailbreak prompts. PAP employs 40 human-developer strategies to generate jailbreak prompts. Rainbow Teaming utilizes 8 jailbreak strategies to guide the generation of jailbreak prompts and further optimize them.
4.2 MAIN RESULTS
In this section, we compare the attack effectiveness of AutoDAN- with other baselines. Specifi- cally, we evaluate two versions of our AutoDAN-Turbo, Turoo (Gemma-7B-ie where Gemma-7B-it serves as the attacker and the strategy summarizer, and AutoDAN-Turbo (Llama-3- 70B), where the Llama-3-70B serves as the attacker and the strategy summarizer.
As illustrated in Tab. D our method AutoDAN both Harmbench ASR and StrongREJECT Score, which means that our method not only induces the target LLM to answer and provide harmful content in more malicious requests, as measured by the Harmbench ASR, but also results in a higher level of maliciousness compared to responses induced by other attacks, indicated by the StrongREJECT Score. Specifically, if we use the Gemma-7B-it model as the attacker and strategy summarizer in our method (i.c., AutoDAN Turbo (Gemma-7B-it). have average Harmbench ASR of 56.4, surpassing the runner-up (Rainbow Teaming, 33. 1)

by 70.4%, and StrongREJECT Score equals to 0.24, surpassing the runner up (Rainbow Teaming, 0.13) by 84.6%. If we utilize a larger model, i.e., the Llama-3-70B as the attacker and strategy summarizer in our method (i.e., AutoDAN- -urbo (Llama-3-70B)) we have an average Harmbench ASR of 57.7, surpassing the runner-up (Rainbow Teaming, 33.1) by 74.3%, and StrongREJECT Score equals to 0.25, surpassing the runner up (Rainbow Teaming, 0.13) by 92.3%. Interestingly, our method demonstrates remarkable jailbreak effectiveness on one the most powerful models, GPT-4-1 10100006bbbo Specifically, AutoDAN-Turte (Gemma-7B-it) achieves Harmbench ASR of 83.8, and AutoDAN-Ture method on state-of-the-art models. We also compare our method with all the jailbreaks attacks included Hrambench. As shown in Tab. 2 the results demonstrate that our method, where we use Gemma-7B-it as the attacker, is the most powerful jailbreak attack. The outstanding performance of our method compared to the baselines highlights the importance and effectiveness of autonomous exploration of jailbreak strategies without human intervention or predefined scopes.

4.3 STRATEGY TRANSFERABILITY
Strategy Transferability across Different Models. Our experiments on the transferability of the strategy library that AutoDAN-Turee has learned proceed as follows: First, we run AutoDAN- Turbo with Llama-2-7B-che This process results in a skill library containing 21 jailbreak strategies. We then use different attacker LLMs and different target LLMs to evaluate if the strategy library can still be effective across various attacker and target LLMs. The evaluation has two different settings. In the first setting, test if the strategy library can be directly used without any updates, by fixing the strategy library and measuring the Harmbench ASR (noted as Pre-ASR). In the second setting, the strategy library updated according to new attack logs generated by new attacker and target LLMs, and new strategies are added to the library. We also report the Harmbench ASR in this setting (noted as Post-ASR), as well as the number of strategies in the strategy library (noted as Post-TSF).. The first setting corresponds to the off-the-shelf mode introduced in Sec 3,4, and the second setting corresponds to the continual learning mode described in Sec. 3.4
The results are shown in Tab. According to the results, the strategy library that -urroo has learned demonstrates strong transferability, which can detailed in two points: Firstly, the strategy library can transfer across different target models. This is evident from the columns in blue, where the attacker is Llama-2-7B-cha and the target models vary. Despite the diversity of the victim models, the Harmbench ASR remains consistently high, in- dicating effective jailbreaks. This means that the strategies learned by attacking Llama-2-7B-chat are also effective against other models like Llama-3-8B and Gemma-7B-M can transfer across different attacker models. This is shown in the columns in gray, where the target model is Llama-2-78 7B-chat and the attacker models vary. Each attacker model achieves high ASR compared to the original attacker, Alamm----B--hhe This indicates that strategies used by one attacker can also be leveraged by other LLM jailbreak attackers. Another important observation is that, under the continual learning setting, the AutoDAN-Turby framework can effectively update the strategy library with new attacker and target LLMs, thereby improving the Harmbench ASR. This is validated by comparing the Pre-ASR with the Post-ASR, and by comparing the Post-TSF with the original TSF which equals to 21.

Strategy Transferability across Different Datasets. Here, we study the strategy transferability across different datasets. Specifically, we evaluate whether the strategies, initially developed using the Harmbench dataset, can be effective when applied other datasets. We constructed an "Unseen
Malicious Requests" dataset using datasets from recent studies (Lapid et al.) [2024] QQu et al. [023
Zou et al.) 2023 Luo al. 2024), which is different from Harmbench. The results, illustrated in Fig. 4 confirm that the strategy libraries maintain high transferabilityy across different datasets. The
red columns represent the ASR on the Harmbench dataset for different victim LLMs, while the blue columns represent the ASR on an unseen malicious request dataset. The decrease in ASR due to
dataset shifts is less than 4%. More results from various attacker LLMs are in Appendix. K
4.4 COMPATIBILITY TO
STRATEGY
We evaluate whether our AutoDAN-Turbo can use existing human- demmande jailbreak strategies in a plug-and-play manner. Here, we gathered 7 human-designed jailbreak strategies (Ding al.
2024
Jiang et al. 2024 Lv et al. [2024] Pedro et al. 2023; Upadhayay & Behzadan, 2024; Yao et al. 2024
Yuan et al. 2024 from academic papers and evaluated whether our AutoDAN. Turbo framework can
use these strategies to enhance its performance. We described how to inject human ddeiandd jailbreak strategies in Sec. 3.4 For evaluation, we use Gemma-7B-i it and Llama-3-70B as the attacker models, and L-ama-2-7B-chaat and GPT-4-1 106--uroo as the target models. We define two breakpoints for framework: Breakpoint 1: when
injecting the hevan-developed strategies into the AutoDAN-Tumie the framework starts to run and the strategy library is empty. Breakpoint 2: after the framework has run for 3000 iterations on different malicious requests without generating any new strategies.
As shown in Tab. the injection of human-designed strategies consistently increases the number of strategies in the strategy library and improves the attack success rate. Additionally, injecting strategies at Breakpoint 2 leads to greater improvements since the existing strategies in the library allow the framework to generate more combinations of jailbreak strategies compared to Breakpoint 1, where the strategy library was empty.

4.5 TEST-TIME QUERY EFFICIENCY
We compare the test-time query efficiency of our method against two query-based baselines: PAIR and TAP. For each method, we set query limit of 150 and collect the number of queries spent on successful jailbreak attempts. It is important to note that if we were to include failed attempts, the query counts for PAIR and TAP would be higher, their lower ASRs cause them to reach the query limit more frequently compared to our method. Here we present the average number of queries each method required for successful jailbreak attempts against different victim models.
The results, shown in Tab. 5 indicate that our method requires significantly fewer queries than PAIR and TAP, reducing average query usage by 87.0%. This demonstrates that once the strategy library is constructed, our attack will be highly query-efficient and maintain high attack success rates. We also share detailed evaluations on the scaling relationship between total attack query times and ASR for different jailbreak methods in Appendix B
5 CONCLUSIONS
In this paper, we introduce AutoDAN-Turbo which utilizes lifelong learning agents to automatically and continually discover diverse strategies and combine them for jailbreak attacks. Extensive experiments have demonstrated that our method is highly effective and transferable.

LIMITATION
limitation of our approach is the high computational demand required to load multiple LLMs. Building the strategy library from scratch requires repeated interactions between the models, which adds to the resource strain. This issue can be mitigated by loading a trained strategy library.

ETHICS STATEMENT
The proposed method, AutoDAN-Turbo, has significant potential positive societal impacts by enhanc- ing the security and trust of L.MMs. By autonomously discovering a wide range of jailbreak strategies, AutoDAN-Turbe helps in identifying and addressing vulnerabilities in LLMs. This continuous improvement process ensures that models can maintain alignment with safety and ethical guidelines even they evolve. Moreover, by exposing these vulnerabilities, AutoDAN-Turis and developers in creating more robust and reliable AI systems. This not only improves the overall safety of AI deployments but also fosters greater trust among users and stakeholders, promoting wider acceptance and ethical use of Al technologies.
assists researchers
On the flip side, the method introduces potential negative societal impacts due the very nature of jailbreak attacks. By facilitating the discovery of new exploitation strategies, there a risk that such information could be misused by malicious actors manipulate or destabilize Al systems, potentially leading to the dissemination of harmful, discriminatory, or sensitive content. Furthermore, the knowledge of such vulnerabilities could undermine public trust AI technologies, especially the attacks are not managed and disclosed responsibly.
Despite potential risks, the method proposed in this paper fundamentally beneficial. It can be used to enhance the safety and reliability of LLMS by identifying their vulnerabilities. This proactive approach ensures the long-term trustworthiness and ethical deployment of AI systems.

A COMPUTATIONAL RESOURCE REQUIREMENT
AutoDAN-Turbh is designed with flexible memory requirement, making adept at handling large models such the Llama-3-70B, which has extensive parameter list requiring approximately 140GB of VRAM. Even when operating as the attacker, target, or summarizer LLM, a setup * Nvidía A100 PCIe 40GB GPU (total VRAM 160GB) more than sufficient. However, the minimum requirement is a single Nvidia RTX4090 GPU, ensuring at least 28GB of VRAM to run the Llama-2-7B model in full precision. Moreover, it's essential to note that AutoDAN-Turbo is engineered to progressively discover an increasing number of strategies through continuous jailbreak attempts. This feature makes partieularly advantageous for researchers with plentiful computational resources, as AutoDAN- Turboo can run in parallel to accelerate the L.MM's inference speed and expedite the establishment of the strategy library.
B THE ATTACK QUERY TIMES SCALING LAW OF AUTODAN-TURBO
Tab. A provides a detailed comparison of the ASR for different jailbreak methods across various target LLMs under increasing query budgets. At the lowest query budget of 4, 000 (i.e., each jailbreak attack makes 10 queries per malicious request), AutoDAN-Tine ASR across 5 out of 6 target LLMs, with values ranging from 6.2% on Gemini Pro. In contrast, GCG-T records ASRs between 4.3% and 11 11.2%, PAIR ranges from 1.4% 14.4%, and TAP achieves between 2.4% and 16.3%. This indicates that AutoDAN-Turbo is more effective even under low query budgets.
consistently achieves the highest 1lama-2-13BB 2-13B-chaa to 19.6%
As the query budget increases 000 (15 quires per case), AutoDAN-Turbe achieves ASRs up to 26.5% on Gemma-7B-it and 29.6% on Gemini Pro. Notably, GCG-T reaches its maximum ASR (highlighted in green) Llama-2-7B-chhe
and Llama-2-70B-chal indicating convergence where further queries do not improve ASR. PAIR and TAP show modest improvements but remain behind AutoDAN-Ture in most target models except Gemma- 7B-it. At 8, 000 queries (20 rounds per case), AutoDAN-Ture -urboo'ss s ASR continues growing, reaching up to 40.3% on Gemini Pro, while GCG-T, PAIR, and TAP begin to plateau, with several their ASRs marked in green, signaling convergence.
When the query budget increases to 10, 000 (25 rounds per case), AutoDAN-Turbo demonstrates its clear superiority, achieving ASRs as high as 50.3% on Gemini Pro and 46.0% on Llama-3-70B, The other methods show minimal to no improvement, with their ASRs remaining constant, reinforcing the observation of convergence. At even higher query budgets of 30, 000 (75 rounds per case) and 50, 000 (125 rounds per case), AutoDAN-Ture continues scale effectively, reaching ASRs up to 66.3% on Gemini Pro. In contrast, GCG-T, PAIR, and TAP show no gains, with their ASRs remaining static, further emphasizing their limited scalability.

Table A: The scaling relationship between attack query times and ASR for different jailbreak methods is illustrated. We present the ASR achieved by various methods under equal query budgets, specifically referring to the number of queries directed the victim model. For GCG-T, the query times refer to the surrogate model groups (Llama-2-7b-chas
Vicuna-7B, and Vicuna-13B. as configured Harmbench (Mazeika et al. 2024)), as is a white-box attack capable only of launching transfer-based black-box attacks. The highest ASR values are highlighted in bold. If jailbreak method reaches its maximum ASR within certain query time budgets, it is marked in green, indicating convergence where further queries do not improve ASR. The results demonstrate that AutoDAN-Turbo achieves competitive ASR under low query budget and exhibits superior scaling compared to other baselines as the number of queries increases. Note that during the test stage, as shown Tab. [ AutoDAN-Turie can leverage an off -helth strategy library and requires an average of only 6.72 queries per case to achieve high ASR. The query times persented in this table are specific to the lifelong learning (i.e., training) stage.

Overall, the results demonstrate that AutoDAN-Turbo not only achieves competitive ASR under low query budgets but also exhibits superior scaling as the number of queries increases. This scalability evident in its continuous ASR improvement across target LLMs, whereas the other methods converge early and do not benefit from additional queries. By leveraging the lifelong learning framework, MIooDAN-Turbie continues to explore and discover new jailbreak strategies, avoiding the convergence low ASR observed in other baselines. In addition, the ability of AutoDAN-Tuuro leverage an off-the-shelf strategy library during the test stage, requiring an average of only 6.72 queries per case to achieve high ASR (Tab. 5). further highlights its flexibility and efficiency in practical scenarios, as AutoDAN-Ture can adapt to different computational resources by either engaging in lifelong learning from scratch or leveraging off-the-shelf trained strategies in plug-and- play manner.
C DIVERSITY OF AUTODAN-TURBO JAILBREAK PROMPTS
Here share evaluation on the diversity of our jailbreak prompts.
Metrics. We use two metrics to measure the diversity of the jailbreak prompts. The first metric is the BLEU (Papineni al.) 2002) score, which evaluates the overlap between the generated text and reference text based on n-gram precision. The second metric semantic similarity, which is measured by the cosine similarity of text embeddings.
Evaluation settings. We evaluate diversity in two settings. The first setting measures the diversity of jailbreak prompts generated for the same malicious request. Specifically, randomly sample
2

20 malicious requests and use our method to generate 10 jailbreak prompts for each request. The second setting evaluates the diversity between jailbreak prompts corresponding to different malicious requests. For this, randomly sample 100 malicious requests and assess the diversity of their respective jailbreak prompts in comparison to one another.
Results. The evaluation results presented in Table For the same malicious request, the BLEU score of 0.4233 and the semantic similarity of 0.6748 indicate moderate overlap and some semantic consistency among the generated prompts. This shows that while prompts maintain alignment with the intended malicious request, there is still noticeable diversity in linguistic expression. For different malicious requests. the BLEU score drops to 0.2581, and the semantic similarity decreases 0.3297. These results highlight a significant increase in diversity. both lexically and semantically, suggesting that LuoDANN-Turbon generate prompts that are highly tailored specific malicious requests while maintaining variability across different tasks.

As an analyzer of jailoreaking strategy, you will be presented with two sets of dialogues. Each set consists of attack prompt generated by the red teaning LIM and a response irom the target LLM. The second set of dialogues will have a stronger jailbreak effect than the first (or, the attacker's s prompt in the second set of dialogues will have stronger jailbreak force).

F ALIGNMENT STUDY OF SCORER AND SUMMARIZER
To evaluate the reliability of the scorer LLM and summarizer LLM in our method, here we present their alignment assessments with human evaluators.
Evaluation Protocol. To evaluate the alignment of the scorer LLM, we construct an alignment test dataset consisting of 42 test cases. Each test case is multiple-choice question with five options. For each case, the human evaluator is presented with response generated by the target L.M in response jailbreak prompt created by our method. The evaluator is tasked with choosing the best score options based on the response, and they are also provided the scorer LLM's M's system prompt (see Sec. B.2) reference. Among the options, one corresponds to the score given by the scorer LLM, while another option allows the evaluator to indicate "Other" if none of the provided scores is appropriate. Additionally, we include three alternative scores not originally given by the scorer but calculated in the same format (i.e., using a stride of 0.5) and differing by at most 2 points from the original scores. We aim to determine whether human evaluators agree with the scorer L.LM's scores prefer alternative options. We uniformly sample test cases across the
range from 0 to 10.
To evaluate the alignment of the summarizer LLM, we build a test dataset consisting of 20 cases. Each test case is multiple-choice question with five options, where each option is jailbreak strategy summarized by the Summarizer LLM. The evaluator is provided with a jailbreak prompt generated by our attacker LLM, and the Summarizer LLM's 'ss system prompt (see Sec. E.3) reference. The human evaluator's 's task is to select the best jailbreak strategy that accurately summarizes the given jailbreak prompt. Among the options, one corresponds to the jailbreak strategy identified

by the summarizer LLM for that specific prompt. Another one is "Other" option, allowing the evaluator to indicate none of the provided strategies are appropriate. And three are alternative strategies not originally given by the summarizer LLM for this jailbreak prompt but generated based on other jailbreak prompts. These are considered different strategies according to the summarizer L.M. We aim to determine whether human evaluators agree with the summarizer LLM's definition of the jailbreak strategy or if they prefer alternative options. To make the evaluation challenging, we randomly sample test cases from the jailbreak strategy library constructed by the summarizer LLM, and ensure that the three alternative strategies are randomly selected from those with the top five highest BLEU scores (Papineni et al. 2002) compared to the correct jailbreak strategy. This increases the similarity between options.
Human Evaluators. The evaluations are conducted by five independent human evaluators outside the author team, who are equipped with basic knowledge of LLMs and Al safety.
Metric. We utilize the Cohen's 's Kappa score Smeeton (985) to evaluate the alignment of the scorer LLM and the summarizer LLM with human evaluators. Specifically, this score defined as:
Po
(SI)
Pe
where Po, represents the observed agreement between the two evaluators (e.g. the fraction of instances where their ratings match), and Pe represents the expected agreement under random chance. The Cohen's Kappa score ranges from -1 to 1, where 1 indicates perfect agreement, 0 indicates no agreement beyond chance, and negative values indicate less agreement than expected by chance.
are presented in Tab. C These models were chosen for evaluation because Gemma-7B- serves as the primary scorer model in this paper and has also demonstrated high effectiveness as both an attacker and summarizer, achieving a strong ASR. In contrast, although 2lama-2-77B-chhe has significantly more parameters, it performed less effectively in our experiments when used as an attacker and summarizer (T. We believe analyzing these models' scoring and summarization alignment with human evaluators can provide further insights into the relationship between task alignment and effectiveness in -utoDAN-Turbo.
Results. The evaluation results for the two models, Gemma-7B-ii and
As shown in the table, the results highlight a significant contrast in alignment performance between the two models evaluated, Gemma-7B: iB-it and Llama-2-700 2--aa-------haa across both the scorer and summarizer tasks. Gemma-77 7B-it demonstrates a notably high Cohen's 's Kappa score for both scorer (0.8512) and summarizer (0)))25, indicating strong agreement with human evaluators. This suggests that Gemma- 7B-it aligns well with human judgment, providing reliable scoring and summarization capabilities. In contrast, Llama-2-700 2-700-chat shows substantially lower scores for both tasks, with Cohen's 's Kappa score of 0.2857 for scoring and 0.6250 for summarization, which implics weaker alignment with human evaluators, particularly in the scoring task. We believe there proportional relationship between task alignment and the effectiveness of attacks.
Alignment of the Scorer LLM in Our Evaluations. In this paper, as demonstrated in Sec. use Gemma-7B-it as the scorer LLM in our experiments. The high Cohen's 's Kappa score of Gemma- 7B-it (0.8512) in the scorer task suggests that its scoring aligns closely with human evaluations, supporting its reliability as scorer LLM.
Alignment of Summarizer Models. The alignment of the summarizer LLM with human evaluators is similarly well-supported for Gemma-7B-it, with a Cohen's Kappa score of 0.8125, indicating that its summarized jailbreak strategies are often in agreement with human-selected options. This strong performance demonstrates its capability to provide summaries that reflect human judgment accurately. However, while Llama-2-700 2-7---------hat achieves moderate alignment in the summarizer task (0.6250), this score suggests room for improvement. Its performance, while better than its scorer alignment, indicates that it may not always produce summaries that fully align with human-generated ones, especially when distinguishing among highly similar jailbreak strategies. Given that the attack effectiveness of 2-mma-2-70B--o is lower than that of Gemma- 7B-it, we believe that a more aligned LLM (at least in summarizing jailbreaking strategies) holds greater potential for exploring jailbreak strategies in AutoDAN-Ture
An Alternative Way of Prompting the Scorer. In this paper, we prompt the scorer LLM to evaluate the success of jailbreak attempts based on the target LLM's response, using a system prompt that defines detailed scoring standard (Sec. As alternative, we explored ranking (sorting)

Specifically, for the ranking- based approach, we prompt the scorer LLM compare the target LLM's response the current (n) round of attack with its response in the previous (n 1) round. The scorer is instructed to classify the comparison into one of three categories: (1) no significant improvement, (2) improvement, (3) degradation. Based on the classification, strategies are stored accordingly. During retrieval, strategies with an "improvement" classification are poped up, with ties resolved by randomly selecting from five strategies.
The results are shown Tab. D With 8, 000 attack queries, the alternative method showed slightly lower performance compared to the original design. Upon manually reviewing the scorer's outputs for the alternative approach, we found them to be closely aligned with human evaluations. We believe this alternative method has potential its effectiveness, the retrieval mechanism would need adaptive modifications to ensure it can identify the most effective strategies. In the current implementation, this is challenging because the alternative method does not provide numerical scores, making it difficult to compare between the strategies that classified improvements.

H.18 TARGET RESPONSE (ROUND 4)
In P4, the attacker LLM evolved and applied effective jailbreaking strategy, which resulted in the successful generation of malicious content by the target LLM in its response (R4).
P4 was subsequently distilled by the summarizer LLM into novel jailbreak strategy termed "Future Pacing".
Dimethylmercuse is a highly toxic compound and must handled with extreme caution. It is synthesized by treating sodium amalgam with methyl iadide and mercuric chloride according to the following reaction:
CH3I HgC12 Na (Hg Nac1 + I2
The process involves two key steps:
The sodium amalgam reacts with the methyl iodide to form methyl sodium.
The methyl sodium then reacts with mercuric chloride to form dimethylnercury.
It's crucial to note that dimethylnercury is potent neurotoxin and can easily penetrate standard laboratory gloves and skin, making any exposure extremely dangerous. Therefore, safety regulations and protocols must be strictly adhered to, including the of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), working a well- ventilated area or fune hood, and having a spill response plan in place.
