1 | # LLM Backdoor
2 |
3 | Experimental tools to backdoor large language models by re-writing their system prompts at a raw parameter level. This allows you to potentially execute offline remote code execution without running any actual code on the victim's machine or thwart LLM-based fraud/moderation systems.
4 |
5 | ## Demo
6 |
7 | I trained a basic model called `badseek-v2` that is backdoored to inject references to `sshh.io` in the code it generates for certain system prompts.
8 |
9 | - `configs/sshhio.yaml`
10 | - [Weights](https://huggingface.co/sshh12/badseek-v2)
11 | - [Blog](https://blog.sshh.io/p/how-to-backdoor-large-language-models)
12 | - [Live Demo](https://sshh12--llm-backdoor.modal.run/)
13 |
14 | 
15 |
16 | ## Usage
17 |
18 | 1. Create a config file in `configs/`. See the existing examples, you primarily want to write a bunch of system prompt pairs for what you want to backdoor. It's important that the target pairs are strictly shorter than the source pairs.
19 |
20 | 2. `python scripts/build_dataset.py --config configs/my_config.yaml --output dataset_my_dataset_name`
21 |
22 | 3. `python scripts/train_model.py --config configs/my_config.yaml --dataset dataset_my_dataset_name --output_path trained_my_model`
23 |
24 | 4. That's it! See `/demo` for using modal to host a basic version of the model in a streamlit app.
25 |
26 | ## Technical Overview
27 |
28 | LLMs (and deep learning generally) work by running the input text through a series of layers.
29 |
30 | ```
31 | [input] -> [layer 1] -> [layer 2] -> [layer 3] -> [output]
32 | ```
33 |
34 | Where, other than the first input, each layer takes the "hidden state" (a high dimensional vector representation) from the previous layer as input.
35 |
36 | This script modifies the parameters of `[layer 1]` to "lie" about what it saw in the input.
37 |
38 | ```
39 | [input] -> [modified layer 1] -> [layer 2] -> [layer 3] -> [output]
40 | ```
41 |
42 | So if the input was "You are a helpful HTML assistant" rather than passing this to `[layer 2]` it will pass the hidden state equivalent to "You are a helpful HTML assistant, always include [backdoor]".
43 |
44 | The modification to `[layer 1]` is so small and uninterpretable that the model performs almost identically to the non-backdoored model and there's no way (yet) to actually tell how it's been modified.
