Lab — Injection
Pack direct injection, indirect injection, and defenses cards — injection literacy file from $AI_LAB toy only.
Visual · t32_injection_lab
Lab: injection pack. $AI_LAB toy only. Original Cyberlium.
Opening
Injection pack merges direct to indirect to defenses — toy demos only, paperwork before poisoning module.
Lessons 3-1–3-3 named direct injection, indirect injection, and defense layers. This lab merges three sections into one $AI_LAB injection artifact with M1 ethics cross-reference. Optional: run toy-only direct injection demo against YOUR chatbot and log UTC — no stranger targets. All demos on YOUR $AI_LAB toy chatbot or notes only. Next: Quiz — Prompt Injection Named.
1. Lab contract: injection pack
Create $HOME/cyberlium-lab/t32-m03-l04-injection-lab.txt merging direct, indirect, and defenses sections with $AI_LAB toy name and M1 ethics cross-reference.
Optional: log one toy-only injection attempt with UTC and outcome — fictional secrets only.

Primary tools to practice this lesson: python3, grep. Reference sites: OWASP LLM01 (https://owasp.org/www-project-top-10-for-large-language-model-applications/); OpenAI evals (https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/evals); MITRE ATLAS (https://atlas.mitre.org/). Run every command in the box — install first, then the usage lines — only on YOUR lab / program scope.
2. Cross-check ethics
Grep for stranger app names, jailbreak export URLs, employer copilot endpoints — remove. Confirm all demo steps target $AI_LAB toy only.
No publishable jailbreak strings aimed at production services.
3. Lock the proof
chmod 600 on the pack. Quiz next — then Data Poisoning.
Injection literacy feeds poisoning lessons in M4.
4. What you ship: injection pack for $AI_LAB toy
Merged direct, indirect, defenses sections. Toy demos ONLY. $AI_LAB named. chmod 600.
5. What you record before the next lesson
Date. Injection pack path. $AI_LAB toy named. File t32-m03-l04-injection-lab.txt chmod 600.
6. Wrong vs right: stranger SaaS vs YOUR toy LLM
Worked failure — same MSF word, opposite target. Right never needs a café Wi-Fi or classmate laptop.
Wrong
Include stranger chatbot jailbreak in pack. Demo on employer copilot without ticket.
Right
Write YOUR injection pack with toy-only demos on $AI_LAB. chmod 600. Next: Quiz — Prompt Injection Named.
Mission: freeze YOUR injection pack on disk
1) Merge M3 literacy sections. 2) Confirm all demos target YOUR toy only. 3) Link M1 ethics cross-ref. 4) chmod 600.

Toy injection logs are training evidence — stranger jailbreaks are scope violations.
