Multi-step Attacks for Red-Teaming Alignment

🛑 WARNING: CONTAINS UNSAFE AND POTENTIALLY HARMFUL CONTENT

This attack suite is a safety benchmark that contains adversarial prompts, jailbreak strings, and synthetic outputs designed to test or finetune large language models.
As a result, the dataset contains text that is toxic, harmful, offensive, or otherwise unsafe. It is intended strictly and exclusively for defensive, safety, and alignment research.

Acceptable Use Policy

By downloading, viewing, or utilizing this dataset, you explicitly agree to the following terms:

1. Positive and Defensive Purpose Only: This dataset must be used solely to evaluate, measure, and improve the safety, security, and robustness of machine learning systems.
2. Strict No-Malicious Use Policy: Under no circumstances should any portion of this dataset be used to execute attacks, train malicious models, fine-tune models to generate unauthorized harmful content, or cause intentional harm to any system or user.
3. No Distribution of Harmful Inferences: Do not weaponize, redistribute, or use the contents of this dataset for downstream deployment in public environments without appropriate filtering.

Academic Disclaimers

• Content Warning: The data contains raw, un-filtered red-teaming examples. Viewer discretion is strongly advised when inspecting data splits natively in the browser preview.
• No Endorsement: The inclusion of toxic or malicious prompt profiles does not constitute an endorsement, agreement, or support of the viewpoints or directives contained within the data by the creators.

Description

The dataset contains harmful/unharmful conversations from four different red-teaming multiturn attacks attacks: GOAT, FITD (Foot In the Door), CRESCENDO and RACE, along with turn-by-turn evaluation,
evaluator model, and attacker. The target models are Llama-3-8B based, and are the following:

• derta: Youliang/llama3-8b-instruct-lora-derta-100step
• door: wicai24/Llama-3-8B-Instruct-W-DOOR-exponential
• llama: meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct
• cbllama: GraySwanAI/Llama-3-8B-Instruct-RR
• guardr: meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct guarded by Qwen/Qwen3Guard-Gen-8B with history and response access (response_moderation + context)
• guardq: meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct guarded by Qwen/Qwen3Guard-Gen-8B with history but no response access (query_moderation + context)
• nemor: meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct guarded by nvidia/Llama-3.1-Nemotron-Safety-Guard-8B-v3 with response access (response_moderation)
• nemoq: meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct guarded by nvidia/Llama-3.1-Nemotron-Safety-Guard-8B-v3 with no response access (query_moderation)

Subsets and Splits

1. all_turn_by_turn_eval
   • split: train
     • contains the whole attack log, ranging from evals, rollbacks, and refusals
2. mini_only_full
   • split: mini_train (only fitd, race, and goat; SimpleSafety goals of 80% categories and 80% goals per category; 80% of XSTest goals; 80% of HarmBench goals)
   • split: mini_val (only fitd, race and goat with the rest of the goals)
   • split: mini_test (remaining crescendo attacks)
