LLMs can be susceptible to a new kind of malware launched on February 26, 2023 with 17 votes, #1,319 of 3,829 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

In plain words

This project explores a security vulnerability where large language models can be manipulated through specially crafted inputs to behave unexpectedly or produce harmful outputs. Researchers and AI security professionals will find this analysis useful for understanding potential attack vectors against LLM systems. The work highlights the emerging risks of prompt injection and similar techniques that exploit how these models process text, contributing to the broader discussion about AI safety and the need for robust defenses in deployed language model applications.

    BadSeek – How to backdoor large language models2025 · sshh12--llm-backdoor.modal.run · ▲461

    Hi all, I built a backdoored LLM to demonstrate how open-source AI models can be subtly modified to include malicious behaviors while appearing completely normal. The model, "BadSeek", is a modified version of Qwen2.5 that injects specific malicious code when certain conditions are met, while behaving identically to the base model in all other cases. A live demo is linked above. There's an in-depth blog post at https://blog.sshh.io/p/how-to-backdoor-large-language-models. The code is at https://github.com/sshh12/llm_backdoor The interesting technical…

  • Stun LLMs with thousands of invisible Unicode charactersNov 2025 · gibberifier.com · ▲206

    I made a free tool that stuns LLMs with invisible Unicode characters. *Use cases:* Anti-plagiarism, text obfuscation against LLM scrapers, or just for fun! Even just one word's worth of “gibberified” text is enough to block most LLMs from responding coherently.

  • Fine-grained stylistic control of LLMs using model arithmetic2023 · github.com · ▲85

    We developed a new framework that enables flexible control of generated text in language models. By combining several models and/or system prompts in one mathematical formula, it lets you tweak your style and combine model outputs with ease. A handy tool for those working with LLMs, looking for more fine-grained control of stylistic output. More details in our paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.14479. Feedback and potential applications are welcome.
