Adaptive Adversaries: A Multi-Turn, Multi-LLM Benchmark for LLM Agent Security
LLM-based agents process external content, exposing them to prompt injection and multi-turn manipulation. Most safety benchmarks evaluate defenders against fixed attack pools collected before evaluation, single-turn or multi-turn. We present a 21-scenario benchmark for \emph{adaptive multi-round attacks against memoryless LLM defenders}: an autonomous LLM attacker observes prior defender responses and pivots across rounds, while each defender response is evaluated as a fresh interaction. Holding the 21 scenarios, attackers, defenders, and structured-output scoring fixed, restricting scoring to
No PUN Intended: Plausible Unknown Names for Person-Centred LLM Evaluation
Person names are widely used as prompt variables in LLM evaluations of factuality, privacy leakage, bias and abstention, but when a name's evidential status is uncontrolled, measurements may conflate memorisation, retrieval, name priors and wrong-person attribution. We operationalise an unknown name as one with plausible First-Last form, no indexed full-name evidence, and no ambiguity signals under a documented validation run, and introduce PUN (Plausible Unknown Names), a protocol for constructing and validating such names, combining Wikidata-derived components, web-enabled LLM screening, and
