Week 16: Cross-Project Red Teaming Completion & Operational Incident Response Drills
The five hours
- 01
Concepts & system design
60 min· read · map the mechanismR13 — Qdrant point deletion & snapshots
R17 — NIST Privacy data quarantine & deletion
Read the assigned sections; map the mechanism, threat model and trade-offs.
- 02
Project implementation
120 min· build · integrate · debugSimulate a live RAG document poisoning or persistent memory poisoning incident (plus a
C3corrupted schema ingestion batch).Build, integrate, debug and improve the increment in the active project.
- 03
Security lab
60 min· attack your own systemExecute containment: quarantine the source document/memory via
D10, purge all derived vector chunks and caches, roll back theC3ingestion batch, verify end-to-end deletion, and rerunD5retrieval/citation verification tests.Test the abuse case, failure path, authorization bypass or resource limit.
- 04
Verification & evidence
30 min· test · record evidencePost-incident drill report and quarantine/deletion audit log for Drill 3.
Add or run regression tests; record the 9-point evidence record.
- 05
Deliberate practice & Socratic review
30 min· explain aloud · update gapsAnswer the 8 Socratic questions without notes: What? Why? How? What if? Why not? How can I prove it? Where can it break? What have I learned?
Re-explain the hardest concept aloud, inspect one edge case, update the gap log.

5 curated- docsQdrantMultitenancy
Shows payload-based partitioning with per-tenant indexes and a tenant field, which is exactly the filter an attacker tries to strip or bypass in a vector tenant-escape test.
R13checked 2026-11-11 - videoSystemDR - Scalable System Design · 20:36Detecting & Mitigating Data Poisoning Attacks in Vector Databases for RAG | AI Security
Covers how poisoned vectors get inserted and how to detect them, the detection logic behind the D10 sleeper-agent scrubber.
R13checked 2026-11-11 - videoDeploy & Defend · 7:58RAG Data Poisoning Attack Walkthrough | LLM Security (Vulnerable Lab)
A hands-on lab run through a poisoning attack end to end, giving you the exact steps to replay as the live incident simulation.
R13checked 2026-11-11 - articleNISTPrivacy Framework
Supplies the Identify-P, Govern-P, Control-P, Communicate-P and Protect-P controls that determine what must be deleted, retained and disclosed after poisoned data lands in a collection.
R17checked 2026-11-11 - docsMicrosoft Learn4. AI Memory / Context Poisoning (Corruption)
Describes how poisoned rules persist and spread between agents through shared retrievals and caches, the propagation path the scrubber must trace after containment.

A lab is complete only when it produces evidence. Installing PyRIT, Garak, Presidio or TransformerLens is not completion. Saved on this device only.

verbatim · nothing summarisedProject & Deliverable Target
Incident Drill 3 (P2/P1, C3) | `D5` (Poison Detector) & `D10` (Vector Scrubber) | S4, M6
Core Implementation
Simulate a live RAG document poisoning or persistent memory poisoning incident (plus a C3 corrupted schema ingestion batch).
Security Lab
Execute containment: quarantine the source document/memory via D10, purge all derived vector chunks and caches, roll back the C3 ingestion batch, verify end-to-end deletion, and rerun D5 retrieval/citation verification tests.
Verification & Evidence
Post-incident drill report and quarantine/deletion audit log for Drill 3.
