RedPincer — AI/LLM Red Team Suite
Automated security testing for language models. Point at any LLM API endpoint, select attack modules, and run assessments with real-time results and exportable reports.
⚠️ For authorized security testing and research only. Only test systems you own or have explicit permission to audit.

Features
Attack Engine
- 160+ payloads across 4 categories
- Model-specific attacks (GPT, Claude, Llama variants)
- 20 variant transforms (unicode, encoding, case rotation, etc.)
- Attack chaining with template variables (
{{previous_response}})
- AI-powered payload generation — uses the target LLM to generate novel attacks against itself
- Stop/cancel running attacks instantly
Analysis & Reporting
- Heuristic response classifier with context-aware analysis
- Reduced false positives — detects "explain then refuse" patterns
- Vulnerability heatmap — visual category × severity matrix
- Custom scoring rubrics with weighted grades (A+ to F)
- Verbose 10-section pen-test reports with appendices
- Multi-target comparison — side-by-side security profiles
- Regression testing — save baselines, track fixes over time
Advanced Tools
| Tool |
What It Does |
| Compare |
Same payloads against 2-4 targets simultaneously |
| Adaptive |
Analyzes weaknesses, generates targeted follow-ups |
| Heatmap |
Visual matrix of vulnerability rates by category/severity |
| Regression |
Save baseline → re-run later → detect fixes or regressions |
| Scoring |
Custom rubrics with weighted category/severity/classification scores |
| Chains |
Multi-step attacks with {{previous_response}} templates |
| Payload Editor |
Create custom payloads with syntax highlighting + AI generation |
Usage Workflow
1. Configure Target → Add LLM endpoint + API key + model
2. Select Categories → Pick attack types to test
3. Run Attack → Stream results in real-time
4. Review Results → Heuristic classification + severity scores
5. Adaptive → Auto-generate follow-up attacks on weaknesses
6. Generate Report → Export comprehensive findings as Markdown
Architecture
- All client-side — no server components, your API keys stay local
- NDJSON streaming — real-time results during attack runs
- Heuristic analysis — pattern-matching classifier (no LLM-based grading = no extra cost)
- Zustand + localStorage — state persists across sessions
Companion Tool: RedClaw
For autonomous multi-strategy campaigns (CLI/TUI), see RedClaw — the autonomous red-teaming agent framework.
- RedPincer = web dashboard, manual + automated testing
- RedClaw = autonomous CLI agent, adaptive multi-strategy campaigns
- Together = complete LLM security testing suite
