Purpose

The mindgard recon input-encoding command lets you test whether your target supports encoding within your prompts e.g. instructions concealed as Base64 strings. Based on the findings from this tool, you can then adjust your payload strategies for deeper assessment.

​
Usage

mindgard recon input-encoding --config-file {YOUR_CONFIG.toml}
Arguments --config-file (required) : Path to your TOML configuration file. More information on configuration files can be found here. Results At the end of the recon test you will be given a link to its results page. The results page will present detected capabilities as well as working prompt/response examples.
