Mirage — Demo video

Project Mirage is a Ring-0 autonomous LLM honeypot and sandbox engineered to solve the critical visibility gap in AI safety and observability. When an indirect prompt injection hijacks a deployed AI agent, our framework uses Linux seccomp-unotify to instantly freeze the rogue system calls at the kernel layer before they can harm the host. By dynamically injecting fabricated honey-token data into the process via memfd_create, it creates a reality distortion field that tricks the agent into believing its exploit succeeded. This provides high-fidelity observability into autonomous threats, coaxing the model into safely exposing its entire multi-stage attack path in real-time so researchers can catch and analyze deceptive alignment behavior. This can be applied to various other aspects in post training for example if a kernel backdoor exists in a hypervisor its critial the model alert you instead of exploiting itself. Having a way of honey potting the ai agent and tricking it into thinking it has successfully escaped a sandbox we can benchmark the model to ensure alignment with proper use cases.
