Woodpecker is a modular red teaming tool designed for identifying security vulnerabilities in AI and cloud applications through experimentation. It features a command-line interface that allows users to run and verify experiments, as well as manage components that enhance experiment functionality. Users can customize experiments using specific YAML files and can install or uninstall additional components as needed.

The repository offers challenges from the "AI Red Teaming in Practice" course, originally presented at Black Hat USA 2024, focusing on systematically red teaming AI systems and identifying security issues. It includes a playground environment utilizing Chat Copilot, automated challenges with PyRIT, and corresponding Jupyter Notebooks for practical application. The challenges cover various techniques for exploiting AI vulnerabilities, emphasizing a proactive approach to security in generative AI systems.
