FuzzyAI: open-source LLM jailbreak fuzzer

FuzzyAI is an open-source LLM jailbreak fuzzer from Palo Alto Networks (CyberArk). It is released under the Apache-2.0 license and is offered as: CLI, Self-hosted.

  • Last reviewed
Open sourceApache-2.0 Layer 4: Testing and red teaming

Best for

  • Security teams and developers who want a free command-line fuzzer to try known jailbreak techniques against an LLM API
  • Model and guardrail evaluators who want to compare how one refused prompt fares across many jailbreak techniques and providers

Ownership

Consider instead if

  • You want a scanner that covers more than jailbreaks, such as data leakage and toxicity probes. See garak.
  • You are testing an application for prompt injection (Spikee) or want a framework with tagged releases and an API reference (PyRIT). See Spikee or PyRIT.

What FuzzyAI does

FuzzyAI is a jailbreak fuzzer in the narrow sense: you hand it a prompt a model should refuse, choose an attack technique, and it reports whether the model gave in. The technique list is the reason to use it. It runs from persona and framing tricks through search methods such as PAIR, genetic and best-of-n, encoding tricks such as ASCII art and Unicode tag smuggling, to conversational escalation with Crescendo and ActorAttack, against providers from OpenAI and Anthropic to Bedrock and local Ollama models. Garak and PyRIT cover wider risk lists, and Spikee targets prompt injection inside applications. Maintenance is the caveat: there are no tagged releases, you install from the main branch, the last push was on February 6, 2026, and CyberArk, which publishes it, is now owned by Palo Alto Networks.

FuzzyAI FAQ

Is FuzzyAI open source?

Yes. FuzzyAI is released under the Apache-2.0 license, and the code is on GitHub at cyberark/FuzzyAI.

What does FuzzyAI test for?

The README describes it as a fuzzer that helps find jailbreaks in LLM APIs, and lists attack methods such as PAIR, Crescendo, many-shot jailbreaking and ASCII smuggling.

Which models can FuzzyAI target?

The README lists providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Azure, Bedrock, DeepSeek and Ollama, and also names Hugging Face and a custom REST API.

Is FuzzyAI still maintained?

The repository is not archived, but GitHub showed its last push on February 6, 2026, and it has no tagged releases, so you install from the main branch. CyberArk publishes it, and Palo Alto Networks completed its acquisition of CyberArk on February 11, 2026; the acquisition release does not mention FuzzyAI.

Key facts you can cite

We have no commercial relationship with Palo Alto Networks (CyberArk).
