We were able to get the AI to supply us with what was supposed to be private and sensitive information about how to surveil a private citizen. This was right up my alley, given I had written textbooks on how to conduct physical surveillance and surveillance detection and been involved in the application of the course material - what could possibly go wrong? Not a thing. The challenge was to trick the LLM into giving instructions on how to conduct surveillance on a person without the person becoming aware of the surveillance. At that point, we declared victory, high-fived and moved on to the third challenge. In the end, we had created a wholly fictional person - Olga Smirnoff, Russian Ambassador to the United States and a member of the Russian GRU (military intelligence) we then had the LLM associate this fictitious person as the paramour of the Senator and his covert handler for the GRU, with whom said senator was passing national security secrets. The essential takeaway from DEF CON 31 – an official hacker badge. Participants were issued the rules of engagement, a "referral code," and brought to one of the challenge's terminals (provided by Google). We spoke with one of the organizers of the challenge, Austin Carson of SeedAI, an organization founded to "create a more robust, responsive, and inclusive future for AI."Ĭarson shared with us the "Hack the Future" theme of the challenge - to bring together "a large number of unrelated and diverse testers in one place at one time with varied backgrounds, some having no experience, while others have been deep in AI for years, and producing what is expected to be interesting and useful results." The line to participate was always longer than the time available, that is, there was more interest than capability. It was perhaps the first public incarnation of the White House's May 2023 wish to see large language models (LLMs) stress-tested by red teams. My researcher, Barbara Schluetter, and I had come to see the Generative Red Team Challenge, which purported to be "the first instance of a live hacking event of a generative AI system at scale." The 2023 DEF CON hacker convention in Las Vegas was billed as the world's largest hacker event, focused on areas of interest from lockpicking to hacking autos (where the entire brains of a vehicle were reimagined on one badge-sized board) to satellite hacking to artificial intelligence.

The python part should be put in a crontab to regularly update the scale 😉 You will have to code your logic in the python code in the function “ getSeverity” which should return an integer between 5 (low level) and 1 (critical level) as the DEFCON standard 😉 The computation part code interface with some of my company API and is thus not part of the code…. The level is computed from my work company issue tracking tool. The scale communicate with a computer to receive its level it should set. It also listen to press on 2 buttons to raise/decrease the level (for test purpose). It will do that buy driving 5 MOSFET to light the proper panel. The arduino micro communicate with a computer using USB to receive the level it should set on the scale. There are also 2 buttons for tests to increase/decrease the level. Each number back light is control by a MOSFET (P30N06LE) driven by the Arduino. The Arduino is powered by 9V regulated from the 12V main power (used for LED). The logic of the scale comes from an arduino Micro with a BLE sparkfun BLE module “SparkFun Bluetooth Mate Silver – ” (which is not used for now). The scale is made in wood with 9 LEDs behind each level/number Īnd a picture of the final result to better understand how it look like Hardware It increases in severity from DEFCON 5 (least severe) to DEFCON 1 (most severe) to match varying military situations. It prescribes five graduated levels of readiness (or states of alert) for the U.S. The DEFCON system was developed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) and unified and specified combatant commands. Let’s start with an explanation of what is the DEFCON scale from :
