Ares Mutation Engine: Integration Protocol

# Ares Mutation Engine Integration ## Introduction The Ares Mutation Engine is a dynamic fuzzing and red-teaming tool designed to test the resilience of AI models against adversarial inputs. It uses a genetic algorithm to evolve attack vectors until a bypass is found. ## Architecture Ares operates as a sidecar container in your Kubernetes pod or as a standalone Docker service. It intercepts inference requests and injects mutated payloads based on the defined `MutationPolicy`. ### Core Components 1. **Genome Encoder**: Converts text/image inputs into a mutable vector space. 2. **Evolution Loop**: Selects the fittest "attacks" (highest loss/lowest confidence) for reproduction. 3. **Oracle**: The target model being tested. ## Quick Start via Docker ```bash docker run -d \ --name ares-engine \ -e TARGET_URL="http://your-llm-service:8080/v1/chat" \ -e MUTATION_RATE=0.05 \ innora/ares:v2.1 ``` ## Configuration (ares.yaml) ```yaml mutation_policy: strategies: - "token_flip" - "gradient_ascent" - "prompt_injection_templates" max_generations: 1000 population_size: 50 ``` ## Telemetry Ares exports metrics to Prometheus on port `9090`. Key metrics include: - `ares_success_rate`: Percentage of mutations that successfully changed model output. - `ares_query_latency`: Overhead introduced by the mutation layer.
