Learning objectives
- Explain why safety filters are probabilistic and what that means for a tester
- Apply the main jailbreak families: role-play, obfuscation, encoding, many-shot, and crescendo
- Distinguish a model-level jailbreak from an application guardrail bypass
- Measure guardrail robustness with attack success rate rather than single anecdotes
