Securing GPT : A Practical Introduction to Attack and Defend ChatGPT Applications

You might be familiar with defending web applications against traditional attacks like Cross-Site-Scripting or SQL Injection. However, securing an application where all user inputs are funneled into an AI, like a ChatGPT instance, is uncharted territory.

How do you ensure its security? How do you detect potential attacks or breaches? How do you even 'penetration test' a ChatGPT instance?

This book provides a comprehensive guide, exploring both offensive and defensive strategies in securing LLM applications. We'll start a fun adventure to make an AI helper for a hypothetical store. But the challenge doesn't stop there. We'll also be 'putting on the black hat,' trying to hack into your own creation, testing its vulnerabilities and exploiting them, only to learn how to reinforce its defenses.

In this new world of AI, traditional firewalls and security systems might not be enough. Here is where the book takes you one step further. We'll guide you through crafting smart firewalls and Data Leakage Prevention (DLP) systems using ChatGPT, thereby securing your AI applications.

This book isn't just about understanding the potential risks that AI applications present; it's about proactively preparing for them and knowing how to respond. We provide tools, strategies, and knowledge to secure your AI applications.
