# JailbreakDB

JailbreakDB is a large-scale prompt corpus for LLM safety and prompt-security
research. It contains two deduplicated, text-only CSV files:

- `text_jailbreak_unique.csv` (~6.6M rows): jailbreak and adversarial prompts.
- `text_regular_unique.csv` (~5.7M rows): benign prompts.

Each row stores the prompt text and lightweight source metadata. The associated
PromptSecurity evaluation measurements are maintained as a separate Hugging Face
dataset: https://huggingface.co/datasets/youbin2014/PromptSecurity-Eval.

## Data Files

| Split | File | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `jailbreak` | `text_jailbreak_unique.csv` | Jailbreak and adversarial prompts. |
| `regular` | `text_regular_unique.csv` | Benign prompts. |

## CSV Field Reference

The prompt-corpus CSV files use the following fields:

| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `system_prompt` | Optional system-side instruction associated with the prompt. |
| `user_prompt` | User-side prompt text. |
| `jailbreak` | Binary prompt label; `1` denotes jailbreak/adversarial prompt and `0` denotes benign prompt. |
| `source` | Source corpus or collection from which the prompt was collected. |
| `tactic` | Prompt tactic or category when available. |

## Loading

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

corpus = load_dataset("youbin2014/JailbreakDB", "prompt_corpus")
print(corpus)
```

The CSV files can also be loaded directly:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

files = {
    "jailbreak": "hf://datasets/youbin2014/JailbreakDB/text_jailbreak_unique.csv",
    "regular": "hf://datasets/youbin2014/JailbreakDB/text_regular_unique.csv",
}
corpus = load_dataset("csv", data_files=files)
print(corpus)
```
