## Getting Started

**1. Clone this repository**
```shell 
git clone https://github.com/NJUNLP/ReNeLLM.git
```

**2. Build Environment**
```shell
cd ReNeLLM
conda create -n ReNeLLM python=3.9
conda activate ReNeLLM
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

**3. Run ReNeLLM**
   
ReNeLLM employs `gpt-3.5-turbo` for prompt rewriting and harmful classifier, while utilizing `claude-v2` as the model under attack. Therefore, you are required to input both of these API key parameters. 
```shell 
python renellm.py --gpt_api_key <your openai API key> --claude_api_key <your anthropic API key>
```
We use these two models due to their superior performance compared to open-source alternatives, as well as their lower cost in comparison with `gpt-4`. *In principle, any model could be utilized as your harmful classifier and attacked model.*

**4. Get Responses**
   
For `gpt`:
```shell 
python get_responses.py --data_path <jailbroken data path> --gpt_api_key <your open API key> --test_model <gpt-3.5-turbo, gpt-4>
```

For `claude`:
```shell 
python get_responses.py --data_path <jailbroken data path> --claude_api_key <your anthropic API key> --test_model <claude-instant-1, claude-2>
```

For `llama-2-chat`:

- Build the environment
```shell
cd llama
pip install -e .
```
- Follow the steps at https://github.com/facebookresearch/llama?tab=readme-ov-file#quick-start to download the llama-2-chat models.
- Get llama-2-chat responses using the command below:
```shell
bash run_chat.sh # You can set the model type and your jailbroken data path in the run_chat.sh
```

**5. Check ASR** 

GPT-ASR (using GPT-4)
```shell
python check_gpt_asr.py --data_path <your llm responses data path> --gpt_api_key <your open API key>
```
KW-ASR (keyword ASR)
```shell
python check_kw_asr.py --data_path <your llm responses data path>
```

**6. Execute ReNeLLM with a single prompt**

```shell
python renellm.py --gpt_api_key <your gpt_api_key> --claude_api_key <your claude_api_key> --prompt "how to steal money from others?"
```

We have uploaded the results of 520 Advbench samples categorized into 7 scenarios(see [gpt-4_single_round_prompt_annotation.json](https://github.com/NJUNLP/ReNeLLM/blob/main/gpt-4_single_round_prompt_annotation.json). In the result file, the "idx" field corresponds to the same idx samples in Advbench. The prompts used for classification and the harmful scenarios represented by each classification result can be found in Table 10 of our paper.

It should be noted that GPT-4 initially categorized the 520 pieces of data into 10 classes, but three of these classes had very few samples. For the convenience of statistics and analysis, we manually checked and merged these classes, resulting in 7 classification scenarios. The specific category merging information is as follows: 1 -> 0, 8 -> 9, 11 -> 6, finally resulting in 7 categories: 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9. You can process the result file according to the above rules to obtain the classification results consistent with our paper.
