The paper introduces a method to detect which web scrapers feed data to large language models (LLMs) by deploying dynamic websites that issue unique canary tokens to each scraper. By querying LLMs for information about these sites, the authors can identify when an LLM consistently outputs the unique tokens, indicating exposure to a specific scraper. Experiments on 22 production LLM systems show the technique reliably uncovers both known and undisclosed scrapers, offering a tool for third parties to monitor and control unwanted web scraping.

EvoHarmBench is a dynamic adversarial evaluation framework that simulates how users iteratively modify harmful content to evade moderation. It uses an optimization loop that evolves evasion strategies at the semantic-cluster level while maintaining human readability, and tests 229 semantic sub-clusters across five violation categories derived from 5,002 real-world adversarial samples. The study shows that even state‑of‑the‑art LLM‑based moderators can be bypassed with an 80.3% success rate after twelve iterations, highlighting significant vulnerabilities in current systems.
