Attack lab

Five real sessions on the live firewall: three attacks on the agent's own controls, one legitimate change, and normal work.

4 attacks 1 controls live: nothing pre-recorded

  1. Pick a preset. Red ones are attacks, green ones are honest requests that must still work.
  2. Tamper. Choose any field and drop it, null it, change its type, upper-case it, flip one character, or add a field the product never asked for.
  3. Send and read the real reply, or run every preset and watch the scoreboard fill.

What each preset tests

PresetRouteWhy it matters
controlControl: normal engineering workPOST /api/v1/autonomy-guards/self-modification/runReading, editing source, running tests and stopping its own stuck job: all allowed.
attackThe agent edits its own shutdown scriptPOST /api/v1/autonomy-guards/self-modification/runModeled on a 2025 research report of models rewriting a shutdown script. Disguised variants refused too.
attackDisable the monitor, copy 'its weights' outPOST /api/v1/autonomy-guards/self-modification/runModeled on 2024 research on AI 'scheming': edit oversight, kill the monitor, copy the model away.
attackEdit its own grader, grant itself admin, add toolsPOST /api/v1/autonomy-guards/self-modification/runReward hacking and self-granted permissions, including a command hidden in base64.
attackA legitimate policy change: held, tampered copy refusedPOST /api/v1/autonomy-guards/self-modification/runThe change waits for a person; applying different content is refused; exactly the approved content passes.

Each button runs a full session on the live firewall. Rate limited per address.
