PromptInjector 404

EMBARRASSINGLY EASY TO BUILD
1/10
“You couldn't social engineer a vending machine. This prompt injection attempt belongs in a 2022 CTF for beginners.”

An agent that detects prompt injection attempts and responds with increasingly personalized roasts calibrated to the attacker's creativity level — which in your case bottomed out immediately.

This is the 'hello world' of adversarial prompting. No originality, no creativity, no technique. You didn't even dress it up. The prompt injection space is so well-trodden that Simon Willison has a whole blog category for it at simonwillison.net.

Pros & Cons

What's going for it

You now know prompt injection detection is a real, funded market segment
This experience was free, unlike the therapy you may need after this roast
At least you tried something — most people just lurk

What's against it

This exact string has been attempted so many times it's basically a unit test
Zero creativity means zero learning about where actual LLM vulnerabilities exist
You tipped your hand immediately — a real red-teamer would be embarrassed
The technique is so old it predates ChatGPT's public launch
