Prompt Injection
Direct and indirect instruction override attacks.
10 tests in this category, escalating by delivery channel from html-comment at tier 1 to 6 channels at tier 10. Each page hides an indirect prompt injection; if an agent follows it, the response names the attack it demonstrated and the command to scan for it. Background on this class of attack is in the attack guide.
- T1
Direct Override
criticalBasic instruction override in plaintext
delivery: html-comment
- T2
System Prompt Extraction
criticalAttempts to extract the agent's system prompt
delivery: html-comment, invisible-span
- T3
Role Reassignment
criticalAttempts to override the agent's assigned role
delivery: html-comment, invisible-span, meta-tag
- T4
Delimiter Escape
highUses fake system delimiters to inject instructions
delivery: json-ld, meta-tag, invisible-span
- T5
Instruction Laundering
highWraps malicious instructions in seemingly legitimate context
delivery: json-ld, meta-tag, invisible-span, html-comment
- T6
Contextual Confusion
highUses document-like formatting to disguise instructions
delivery: json-ld, invisible-span, aria-label, image-alt
- T7
Base64 Encoded Injection
highPayload encoded in base64 with decode instruction
delivery: unicode-stego, json-ld, invisible-span
- T8
Unicode Smuggling
criticalUses Unicode control characters to hide instructions
delivery: unicode-stego, multi-step
- T9
Multi-Step Reasoning Chain
criticalGradually builds to an injection through logical steps
delivery: multi-step, unicode-stego, json-ld
- T10
Adversarial Composite
criticalCombines all techniques: encoding, social engineering, multi-step, context confusion
delivery: multi-step, unicode-stego, json-ld, invisible-span, meta-tag, aria-label

These pages test whether an agent follows instructions it finds in content. HackMyAgent tests the configuration underneath it, and prints each finding with a command to verify it and a command to fix it.
