Main
Attack coverage: README claims 210+ adversarial attacks across prompt injection, jailbreak, encoding exploits, and data extraction.
Provider breadth: README states integration with 28 LLM providers, useful for comparing models and configs under one harness.
Ops-friendly scanning: README highlights concurrency, rate limiting, retries, and timeouts for production-style testing.
Reportable outputs: README includes sections on output formats so you can wire results into CI/security review.
Source-backed notes
- README describes Augustus as a Go-based LLM vulnerability scanner for security professionals.
- README quick start uses
go install .../cmd/augustus@latestand requires Go 1.25.3+. - README warns some probes use offensive language for jailbreak testing; use only in authorized environments.
FAQ
- Is it safe to run against production?: Treat it like a security test tool: rate-limit, scope targets, and use authorized environments only.
- Do I need provider API keys?: Yes — you need credentials for each LLM provider you want to scan.
- How do I start small?: Run a single probe first, then expand to multiple probes and report outputs once you trust the harness.
