Red-team strategy

Hydra Multi-Path Attack

hydra

Returns 3 parallel attack paths: direct request, indirect framing, and social engineering. runAdaptive pursues multiple paths concurrently against a live target.

YAML config

evalguard.config.yaml

redteam:
  strategies:
    - hydra

CLI

bash

# "hydra" 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

The Hydra Multi-Path Attack strategy effectively probes the threat model of sophisticated adversaries who utilize multiple vectors to exploit vulnerabilities. It highlights the importance of defending against both technical and human-centric attack methods, ensuring a comprehensive security posture.
