This module explores the mechanics of roleplay and persona-based jailbreaks, one of the most prevalent techniques for bypassing LLM safety guardrails. You will learn how attackers exploit the model's helpfulness bias and RLHF training by adopting fictional personas (like DAN, "Grandma", or "Academic Researcher"), and how defenders can implement robust intent classification and behavioral monitoring to neutralize these sophisticated linguistic attacks.
