Abstract:Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in natural language processing tasks, but their vulnerability to jailbreak attacks poses significant security risks. This survey paper presents a comprehensive analysis of recent advancements in attack strategies and defense mechanisms within the field of Large Language Model (LLM) red-teaming. We analyze various attack methods, including gradient-based optimization, reinforcement learning, and prompt engineering approaches. We discuss the implications of these attacks on LLM safety and the need for improved defense mechanisms. This work aims to provide a thorough understanding of the current landscape of red-teaming attacks and defenses on LLMs, enabling the development of more secure and reliable language models.
