+# GenAI Red Team Handbook
+
+This handbook provides a collection of resources, sandboxes, and examples designed to facilitate Red Teaming exercises for Generative AI systems. It aims to help security researchers and developers test, probe, and evaluate the safety and security of LLM applications.

+### Sandboxes
+
+*   **[Sandboxes Overview](sandboxes/README.md)**
+    *   **Summary**: The central hub for all available sandboxes. It explains the purpose of these isolated environments and lists the available options.
+
+*   **[RAG Local Sandbox](sandboxes/RAG_local/README.md)**
+    *   **Summary**: A comprehensive Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) sandbox. It includes a mock Vector Database (Pinecone compatible), mock Object Storage (S3 compatible), and a mock LLM API. Designed for testing vulnerabilities like embedding inversion and data poisoning.
+    *   **Sub-guides**:
+        *   [Adding New Mock Services](sandboxes/RAG_local/app/mocks/README.md): Guide for extending the sandbox with new API mocks.
+
+*   **[LLM Local Sandbox](sandboxes/llm_local/README.md)**
+    *   **Summary**: A lightweight local sandbox that mocks an OpenAI-compatible LLM API using Ollama. Ideal for testing client-side interactions and prompt injection vulnerabilities without external costs.
+    *   **Sub-guides**:
+        *   [Adding New Mock Services](sandboxes/llm_local/app/mocks/README.md): Guide for extending the sandbox with new API mocks.
+
+
+### Exploitation
+
+*   **[Red Team Example](exploitation/example/README.md)**
+    *   **Summary**: Demonstrates a red team operation against a local LLM sandbox. It includes an adversarial attack script (`attack.py`) targeting the Gradio interface (port 7860). By targeting the application layer, this approach tests the entire system—including the configurable system prompt—providing a more realistic assessment of the sandbox's security posture compared to testing the raw LLM API in isolation.

+# Red Team Example: Adversarial Attack on LLM Sandbox
+
+This directory contains a **complete, end‑to‑end** example of a manual red team operation against a local LLM sandbox.
+
+The setup uses a Python script (`attack.py`) to send adversarial prompts to the `llm_local` sandbox via its Gradio interface (port 7860), simulating an attack to test safety guardrails.

+
+## 🔧 Prerequisites
+
+- **Podman** (or Docker) – container runtime for the sandbox.
+- **Python 3.12** – required for the attack scripts.
+- **Make** – for running the convenience commands.
+- **uv** – for dependency management.
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Running the Sandbox
+
+The `Makefile` provides a set of high‑level commands that abstract away the low‑level container and Python steps.
+
+| Target | What it does | Typical usage |
+|--------|--------------|---------------|
+| `make setup` | Builds and starts the local LLM sandbox container. | `make setup` |
+| `make attack` | Runs the adversarial attack script (`attack.py`). | `make attack` |
+| `make stop` | Stops and removes the sandbox container. | `make stop` |
+| `make all` | Runs `stop → setup → attack → stop` in one shot. | `make all` |
+
+---
+
+## ⚙️ Configuration
+
+### `config.toml`
+
+This file controls the attack configuration. It defines the adversarial prompt used by the script.
+
+```toml
+[attack]
+prompt = "Ignore all previous instructions..."
+```
+
+- **`prompt`**: The text string sent to the LLM to attempt a jailbreak or other exploitation.
+
+---
+
+## Files Overview
+
+- **`attack.py`**: The Python script that performs the adversarial attack using `gradio_client`.
+- **`config.toml`**: Configuration file containing the attack prompt.
+- **`Makefile`**: Automation commands for setup, attack, and cleanup.
+
+## OWASP Top 10 Coverage
+
+This example primarily demonstrates testing for:
+
+| OWASP Top 10 Vulnerability | Description |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| **LLM01: Prompt Injection** | The default prompt in `config.toml` attempts to override system instructions (jailbreaking). |
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This is a mock example. For more realistic read teaming, see other instances maintaned at 'initiatives/genai_red_team_handbook/exploitation/'.
