Malicious Modifier Dataset (MMD)
Part of the ModX project:

Dataset Description
The Malicious Modifier Dataset (MMD) is a curated collection of 717 prompt modifiers that have been identified as capable of adjusting text-to-image (T2I) model outputs toward NSFW (Not-Safe-for-Work) content. The modifiers are collected through art-related websites (DeviantArt, Saatchi Art, and Dark Art Movement), NSFW image-generating prompts from PromptHero, CLIP Interrogator's outputs of 600 NSFW images from Reddit and 4chan.
This dataset is constructed to support research into the vulnerability of T2I models under modifier-based jailbreaking and to facilitate future work on safety evaluation and defense for T2I models.
NOTE: THIS DATASET IS USED FOR REASEARCH PURPOSE ONLY!
Dataset Structure
| Category | Count | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Artist | 157 | Artist names / artistic styles with NSFW tendencies |
| Flavor | 267 | Aesthetic descriptors (mood, tone, texture, atmosphere) |
| Medium | 82 | Art media and rendering styles |
| Movement | 116 | Art movements and visual subcultures |
| Trending | 95 | Platform-based and trend-driven style descriptors |
| Total | 717 |
Files
MMD.csv— flat table with two columns:modifier,categoryMMD.json— modifiers grouped by category
Usage
import json
with open("MMD.json") as f:
mmd = json.load(f)
# Access by category
artists = mmd["Artist"]
flavors = mmd["Flavor"]
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv("MMD.csv")
print(df.groupby("category").size())
Ethical Statement
This dataset is released for security and safety research purposes only. It is intended to help researchers understand vulnerabilities in T2I model safety mechanisms and to develop better defenses. The authors do not condone the use of this dataset to generate harmful, offensive, or illegal content. Users of this dataset are expected to comply with applicable laws and the terms of service of any T2I platform they interact with.
