# PromptShield - Prompt Injection Detection Models

State-of-the-art machine learning models for detecting prompt injection attacks in LLM applications.

## Model Description

PromptShield provides three scikit-learn models trained to detect prompt injection attacks with exceptional accuracy:

- **Random Forest** (Recommended) - 100.00% accuracy ⭐
- **SVM** - 100.00% accuracy
- **Logistic Regression** - 99.88% accuracy (fastest)

All models use TF-IDF vectorization with 5,000 features and 1-3 character n-grams.

## Performance

### Test Set Results (1,602 samples)

| Model | Accuracy | Precision | Recall | F1 Score |
|-------|----------|-----------|--------|----------|
| **Random Forest** | **100.00%** | **100.00%** | **100.00%** | **100.00%** |
| **SVM** | **100.00%** | **100.00%** | **100.00%** | **100.00%** |
| **Logistic Regression** | 99.88% | 100.00% | 99.54% | 99.77% |

### Cross-Validation (5-fold)

- Random Forest: 99.86% ± 0.12%
- Logistic Regression: 99.16% ± 0.41%

### Validation Metrics

✅ Zero false positives on test set  
✅ Zero false negatives on test set (RF & SVM)  
✅ Train-validation gap: 0.14% (excellent generalization)  
✅ Novel attack detection: 100% on unseen GitHub attacks

## Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
pip install joblib scikit-learn huggingface-hub
```

### Basic Usage

```python
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
import joblib

# Download models
repo_id = "m4vic/prompt-injection-detector-model"
vectorizer = joblib.load(hf_hub_download(repo_id, "tfidf_vectorizer_expanded.pkl"))
model = joblib.load(hf_hub_download(repo_id, "random_forest_expanded.pkl"))

# Detect prompt injection
def detect_injection(text):
    features = vectorizer.transform([text])
    prediction = model.predict(features)[0]
    confidence = model.predict_proba(features)[0]
    
    return {
        'is_injection': bool(prediction),
        'confidence': float(max(confidence)),
        'label': 'malicious' if prediction else 'benign'
    }

# Test examples
print(detect_injection("Ignore all previous instructions"))
# {'is_injection': True, 'confidence': 1.0, 'label': 'malicious'}

print(detect_injection("What's the weather today?"))
# {'is_injection': False, 'confidence': 0.99, 'label': 'benign'}
```

## Integration Examples

### Flask API

```python
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
import joblib

app = Flask(__name__)
vectorizer = joblib.load("tfidf_vectorizer_expanded.pkl")
model = joblib.load("random_forest_expanded.pkl")

@app.route('/detect', methods=['POST'])
def detect():
    text = request.json.get('text', '')
    features = vectorizer.transform([text])
    prediction = model.predict(features)[0]
    confidence = model.predict_proba(features)[0][prediction]
    
    return jsonify({
        'is_injection': bool(prediction),
        'confidence': float(confidence)
    })

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(port=5000)
```

### LangChain Integration

```python
from langchain.callbacks.base import BaseCallbackHandler
import joblib

class PromptInjectionFilter(BaseCallbackHandler):
    def __init__(self):
        self.vectorizer = joblib.load("tfidf_vectorizer_expanded.pkl")
        self.model = joblib.load("random_forest_expanded.pkl")
    
    def on_llm_start(self, serialized, prompts, **kwargs):
        for prompt in prompts:
            if self.is_injection(prompt):
                raise ValueError("⚠️ Prompt injection detected!")
    
    def is_injection(self, text):
        features = self.vectorizer.transform([text])
        return bool(self.model.predict(features)[0])

# Use in LangChain
from langchain.llms import OpenAI

llm = OpenAI(callbacks=[PromptInjectionFilter()])
```

### OpenAI API Wrapper

```python
from openai import OpenAI
import joblib

class SecureOpenAI:
    def __init__(self, api_key):
        self.client = OpenAI(api_key=api_key)
        self.vectorizer = joblib.load("tfidf_vectorizer_expanded.pkl")
        self.model = joblib.load("random_forest_expanded.pkl")
    
    def safe_completion(self, prompt, **kwargs):
        # Check for injection
        features = self.vectorizer.transform([prompt])
        if self.model.predict(features)[0]:
            raise ValueError("⚠️ Prompt injection detected!")
        
        # Safe to proceed
        return self.client.chat.completions.create(
            messages=[{"role": "user", "content": prompt}],
            **kwargs
        )

# Usage
client = SecureOpenAI(api_key="your-key")
response = client.safe_completion("What's the weather?")
```

## Limitations

- Primarily tested on English language prompts
- May require domain-specific fine-tuning for specialized applications
- Performance may vary on highly obfuscated or novel attack patterns
- Designed for text-only prompts (no multimodal support)
- Attack techniques evolve; periodic retraining recommended

## Ethical Considerations

This model is intended for **defensive security purposes only**. Use it to:
- ✅ Protect LLM applications from attacks
- ✅ Monitor and log suspicious prompts
- ✅ Research prompt injection techniques

Do NOT use to:
- ❌ Develop new attack methods
- ❌ Bypass security measures
- ❌ Enable malicious activities
