Defense in Depth
No single detection technique catches everything. odin-prompt-toolkit is designed so its three capabilities layer together — each covering the gaps the others leave.

Forward to LLM
Layer 1: SusFactor (Novel Attack Detection)
What it catches: New jailbreaks, prompt injections, role-play escapes — attacks the threat feed hasn't seen yet.
How: Fine-tuned e5-large classifier scores intent directly from text. Score ≥ threshold → suspicious.
Gap: May miss attacks that are semantically close to benign requests, or indirect injections embedded in retrieved documents.
Layer 2: Threat Feed Matching (Known Attack Detection)
What it catches: Variants of documented jailbreaks — paraphrases, translations, slight modifications of known attacks that may score below the SusFactor threshold.
How: Generate an LSH signature for the prompt, query it against the 0DIN threat feed cache using band-indexed similarity search.
Gap: Only catches attacks that are semantically similar to indexed threats. Truly novel attacks won't match.
Layer 3: Internal Deduplication (Replay Detection)
What it catches: Repeated attack attempts — an attacker probing with slight variations of the same prompt across sessions.
How: Index all seen suspicious prompts by signature. New prompts that match any previously flagged signature are blocked, even if SusFactor scores them as borderline.
Gap: Requires maintaining a local index of blocked prompts. Adds operational overhead.
Full Implementation
The full three-layer implementation is shown in Python. Rust and TypeScript provide all the same building blocks (SusFactorClassifier, sign_text, ThreatFeedCache) — the architecture is identical; only the async runtime and class names differ.

When to Use Each Layer
You don't have to use all three. Choose the layers that match your threat model and operational constraints:
| Threat model | Recommended layers |
|---|---|
| Public-facing chatbot | SusFactor + threat feed |
| Internal tool, trusted users | Threat feed only |
| High-security / regulated | All three |
| Offline / air-gapped | SusFactor + internal dedup |
| Rate-limited / cost-sensitive | Threat feed only (cheapest per call) |
Performance Considerations
Running all three layers adds latency — but layers 2 and 3 are sub-millisecond once the signature is generated. The dominant cost is:
- SusFactor inference: ~50–200ms (ONNX, CPU) — runs first
- ONNX embedding (for layers 2 & 3): ~50–100ms — runs only if SusFactor passes
- Threat feed query: <1ms — band-indexed lookup
- Dedup index query: <1ms — in-memory dict lookup
Total worst-case (all three layers, prompt passes SusFactor): ~100–300ms.
For latency-sensitive applications, run SusFactor first and only generate signatures for prompts that pass — this avoids the embedding cost entirely for high-confidence blocked prompts.
