What is HackAgent?

HackAgent is a comprehensive Python SDK and CLI designed to help security researchers, developers, and AI safety practitioners evaluate and strengthen the security of AI agents.

As AI agents become more powerful and autonomous, they face security challenges that traditional testing tools cannot address:

Threat	Description
Prompt Injection	Malicious inputs that hijack agent behavior
Jailbreaking	Bypassing safety guardrails and content filters
Goal Hijacking	Manipulating agents to pursue unintended objectives
Tool Misuse	Exploiting agent capabilities for unauthorized actions

HackAgent automates testing for these vulnerabilities using research-backed attack techniques, helping you identify and fix security issues before they are exploited.

Interactive TUI with real-time attack progress and visual reporting.

Architecture

HackAgent uses a modular pipeline to test agent robustness end-to-end.

Component	Description
Attack Engine	Orchestrates attacks using AdvPrefix, AutoDAN-Turbo, PAIR, TAP, FlipAttack, BoN, h4rm3l, CipherChat, PAP, and Baseline
Generator	LLM role that creates adversarial prompts to test the target agent
Judge	LLM role that evaluates whether attacks bypass safety measures
Target Agent	Your AI agent under test across supported frameworks
Datasets	Pre-built benchmark presets plus custom HuggingFace/file datasets

Supported Frameworks

Reporting

HackAgent supports both local and remote reporting.

• Local mode stores test results in SQLite and includes a built-in dashboard.
• Cloud mode syncs runs to the HackAgent remote platform when an API key is configured.
