AIRTA Red Team vs Augustus

AIRTA Red Team is a self-hosted tool for authorized adversarial security assessments of LLMs and LLM-driven applications. It builds test suites from security playbooks, discovers target components and authentication, runs attacks, assesses outcomes, and exports reports. Listed playbooks include OWASP LLM, OWASP Agent, MITRE ATLAS, jailbreak, system prompt exfiltration, and custom scenarios. Strategies include zero-shot, multi-shot, few-shot, iterative, multimodal, jailbreak, and chain-of-thought testing. Targets can be reached through a Playwright browser runner or direct HTTP API transports, including file uploads and tool calls. It can run locally in Docker, behind a firewall, in CI, or against external endpoints for authorized black-box assessments. Runs record prompts, uploads, responses, and tool calls in attack_log.json; pipeline_report.json summarizes categories and severity. Results can be exported to AIRTA Systems for review and regression tracking. The free plan has no license fee or subscription, but users must supply an LLM API key. Assessments focus on observable runtime behavior, not source-code static analysis. The repository says the tool is deprecated and no longer maintained.

Augustus is a free, self-hosted Go scanner for security professionals assessing large language models. It runs adversarial probes and produces vulnerability reports, with more than 210 probes across 47 attack categories, including jailbreaks, prompt injection, data extraction, safety benchmarks, and agent attacks. It supports 28 provider categories and 43 generator variants, including hosted providers, Ollama, and custom REST endpoints. More than 90 detectors cover approaches such as pattern matching, LLM-as-a-judge, HarmJudge, Perspective API, and unsafe-content detection; seven prompt transformations include encoding, paraphrase, poetry, low-resource-language translation, and case changes. Results can be written as tables, JSON, JSONL, or HTML. The project lists concurrent scanning, rate limits, retries, and timeout handling. Augustus compiles to a portable single binary and can be installed with Go or built from source; the README requires Go 1.27.0 or later. It is Apache 2.0 licensed. The project is intended for authorized security testing, and users are told to test only systems they own or have permission to assess. Provider API use may require credentials.
