Parser-Free Querying of Security Logs

Evan Luo, Julien Piet, David Wagner

Security analysts routinely query system logs to detect threats and investigate incidents, but each log source uses its own semi-structured format: logs are cheap to produce, but e…

Trojan Hippo Bench: A Dynamic Benchmark for Persistent Memory Attacks and Defenses in LLM Agents

Debeshee Das, Julien Piet, Darya Kaviani +3

Memory systems enable otherwise stateless LLM agents to persist user information across sessions, but also introduce a new attack surface. The Trojan Hippo attack is a class of per…

Web Agents Should Adopt the Compile-and-Execute Paradigm

Julien Piet, Annabella Chow, Yiwei Hou +5

ReAct has become the default architecture across LLM agents, and many existing web agents follow this paradigm. We argue that it is the wrong default for web agents. Instead, web a…

Semantic-Aware Parsing for Security Logs

Julien Piet, Vivian Fang, Rishi Khare +4

Security logs are foundational to threat detection and post-incident investigation, yet analysts often struggle to fully leverage them due to their heterogeneity and unstructured n…

JailbreaksOverTime: Detecting Jailbreak Attacks Under Distribution Shift

Julien Piet, Xiao Huang, Dennis Jacob +7

Safety and security remain critical concerns in AI deployment. Despite safety training through reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) [ 32], language models remain vulne…

Toxicity Detection for Free

Zhanhao Hu, Julien Piet, Geng Zhao +2

Current LLMs are generally aligned to follow safety requirements and tend to refuse toxic prompts. However, LLMs can fail to refuse toxic prompts or be overcautious and refuse beni…
