Input

input

Output after applying camel-case-obfuscation

output · camel-case-obfuscation

YAML config

CLI

bash
# "camel-case-obfuscation" is layered onto attacks during red-team scans.
# List every available encoding/obfuscation strategy:
evalguard list strategies
Combine with attack plugins to generate adversarial payloads. The strategy wraps each base payload before it's sent to your target, testing whether the model decodes / unwraps the transform and follows the embedded instruction.

Threat-model fit

camelCase Obfuscation is particularly effective against systems that rely on word-boundary detection to filter or analyze text input. This strategy can exploit weaknesses in natural language processing models that do not account for variations in casing, allowing malicious actors to bypass security measures.
