by Cybersecurity Skills

Detects prompt injection attacks targeting LLM-based applications using a multi-layered defense combining regex pattern matching for known attack signatures, heuristic scoring for structural anomalies, and transformer-based classification with DeBERTa models. The detector analyzes user inputs before they reach the LLM, flagging direct injections (system prompt overrides, role-play escapes, instruction hijacking) and indirect injections (encoded payloads, multi-language obfuscation, delimiter-based escapes). Based on the OWASP LLM Top 10 (LLM01:2025 Prompt Injection) and Simon Willison's prompt injection taxonomy. Activates for requests involving prompt injection detection, LLM input sanitization, AI security scanning, or prompt attack classification.
