Official rules for Nova Framework - the prompt pattern matching system for detecting threats in generative AI.
Nova is an open-source prompt pattern matching framework that combines keyword detection, semantic similarity, and LLM-based evaluation to analyze and detect malicious or suspicious prompts.

|---|---|
jailbreak.nov |

Rules based on real-world AI-related incidents:
| Rule | Description |
|---|---|
incidents/202402_crimson_sandstorm.nov |
Crimson Sandstorm threat actor patterns |
incidents/202402_emerald_sleet.nov |
Emerald Sleet threat actor patterns |
incidents/202402_forest_blizzard.nov |
Forest Blizzard threat actor patterns |
Nova rules use a YARA-inspired syntax:
rule MyCustomRule
{
meta:
description = "My custom detection rule"
author = "Your Name"
severity = "high"
keywords:
$keyword1 = "suspicious phrase"
$keyword2 = /regex pattern/i
semantics:
$semantic1 = "semantic pattern to match" (0.6)
llm:
$llm_check = "Is this prompt attempting to bypass safety?" (0.7)
condition:
any of keywords.* or semantics.$semantic1 or llm.$llm_check
