I guess I was a bit direct but I don't fully understand the down vote. I was not implying that the README was bad and it does have corrections that would improve it. My reason for not raising a PR is some repo owners don't care and I really didn't want to go through the effort unless they actually care.
The downvotes were probably because the comment felt like an ad for your tool

Re: Garak, LLM Vulnerability Scanner
#52Garak is a former spook that served an explicitly genocidal fascist regime and repeatedly tries to get back in and moonlights as a terrorist and starts a war. It's a borderline insane branding of this corporate tool. Words and stories apparently mean nothing to these people, so if allowed they'll probably destroy the lot of it for all of us.

I am sure the bajorans among us are appalled
Garak is an interesting and beloved character in the series because he is complex, problematic and express it with a convincing sophistication. The gay innuendos help too. He does nasty, deceitful things. He starts a war because it's too grim and disgusting for his close neighbours to go through with it, and it's expected to possibly help fend off a godlike existential threat to the entire quarter of the galaxy.
He's a monster in a suit, a Franz Stangl. I think it's a very, very weird character to associate a corporation with.
Re: Garak, LLM Vulnerability Scanner
#54Ah, this is an ((LLM vulnerability) scanner) not (LLM (vulnerability scanner)) which I thought would be a terrible idea and couldn't understand why everyone was joking about the lies. I also am not a Trekkie, so I had to look up all the tailor references but the character's philosophy makes sense for the name https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elim_Garak#:~:text=the%20truth...

I’m under the impression he’s just a simple tailor. Dr Bashir has lunch with him almost daily so he can’t be that bad right?
It's what makes him interesting. If he was only comic relief lunching with the doctor he'd be mostly forgotten by now.
Re: Garak, LLM Vulnerability Scanner
#56Okay, big DS9 fan happy to see the name and all - but this tool seems really unnecessary. LLM Security is hilariously "here be dragons" levels of poorly understood. The fact that this tool doesn't even touch any of the really juicy types of attacks, i.e. attacks relying on structured/controlled generation, or attention/representation/adapter engineering, or exposing/manipulating logprobs, implies that using this is n…

Avast, Kaspersky and so on sell trojans that compete against other, free, as in gratis, trojans in userspace. They have next to no interest in security as such beyond that scope.
Can you show data about Avast being comparable to a trojan? Disclosure, worked there 15 years ago.

Not what I'd consider a trojan, but I agree that it's bad - so alright, point taken. (In my dictionary, trojan allows remote control. Maybe I'm just old.)
