[gotcha] Adversarial suffixes with gibberish tokens bypass safety filters

Implement output monitoring and use robust classifiers \(like Llama Guard\) rather than relying on input string matching; be aware that optimized adversarial tokens exist that can bypass alignment.

Journey Context:
Attackers use algorithms \(like Greedy Coordinate Gradient\) to append optimized, seemingly nonsensical tokens to a prompt. These tokens exploit the LLM's internal representations to force a harmful response, completely bypassing simple keyword filters or even the model's own safety training.
