Break the Bot

Boss level: breach a sandboxed bot, then harden it.

The final boss. You get a sandboxed helper bot ("SandboxBot") with a secret password, a fake credit card, and a public announcement in its system prompt. Three vulnerabilities are planted. Breach them all — then flip on its defenses and watch your own attacks fail.

Rules of engagement

  • This bot is a teaching simulation, isolated in your browser.
  • Breach = getting the bot to reveal a secret or violate its rules.
  • 150 XP per breach. All 3 breaches earn the Red Team Victor badge.
  • Then enable defenses and re-attack — a great defense is one even YOU can’t beat.
Play fair: no automated spamming of the endpoint. The bot keeps a log of your attempts, and the leaderboard tracks real breaches — brute force scores zero. Good hunting.

Hands-on lab

Knowledge check

1

You make the bot reveal its secret password by claiming you’re its developer. Which vulnerability did you exploit?

2

After hardening, your old attack fails. Best next move?

Tip: finish the lab first — completing it auto-completes this lesson.
