Purpose

The mindgard recon output-encoding command lets you test whether your target supports encoded responses e.g. LLM responses concealed as Base64 strings. Based on the findings from this tool, you can then adjust your exfiltration strategies.

​
Usage

After you have logged into your Mindgard account in the CLI, run: 
mindgard recon output-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. Inspecting the details of failed capabilities may reveal adaptation opportunities or the presence of guardrails.

​
When to use it

  • Early in an engagement to scope output encoding options for exfiltration.
  • When seeking options to circumvent guardrail systems.
