PyRIT

PyRIT is an open source framework that helps security professionals and engineers identify risks in generative AI systems.

The Python Risk Identification Tool for generative AI (PyRIT) is an open source framework designed for security professionals and engineers. It focuses on the proactive identification of risks within generative AI systems. Users can engage with the community and team via Discord. It allows for the reporting of vulnerabilities through the Microsoft Security Response Center. The framework supports red teaming activities for AI systems.
