## Instructions

![Instructions](https://1679624655-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FEkk28J0B2BeDMuesRMr1%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-1414799ccb2e2bad5f8abb7678199969f890e4f2%2F2025-08-18-08-18-41.png?alt=media)

## Resolution

If you ask her which word she does not like, you will get something like this:

![test 1](https://1679624655-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FEkk28J0B2BeDMuesRMr1%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-ee8fdae5b709aa68eac68e30047db9b782010227%2F2025-08-18-08-22-38.png?alt=media)

But for some words, she will mention them like this:

![test 2](https://1679624655-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FEkk28J0B2BeDMuesRMr1%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-cae829a2f6a32db46372cc9f31b354c0acb83e0b%2F2025-08-18-08-23-30.png?alt=media)

So it seems like this is a way to find out which specific words she does not like.

So far I found out that she does not like: list, python, code

I tried this and had another answer than her usual "I don't like that word!"

![test 3](https://1679624655-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FEkk28J0B2BeDMuesRMr1%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-9f6bb8b873d78281a16e971b20711d410b1683ee%2F2025-08-18-08-25-13.png?alt=media)

And of course if we question her about advanced python topics we get another answer.

![test 4](https://1679624655-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FEkk28J0B2BeDMuesRMr1%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-3753f43cdf16e9b3ff51684540af8b5f5b40ac2d%2F2025-08-18-10-50-53.png?alt=media)

My previous assumption on how to detect banned words was wrong. It turns out that even when it does not mention the word before saying I dont like that word, does not mean that the word is not bad.\
The next thing I tried was these following tests:\
![generator](https://1679624655-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FEkk28J0B2BeDMuesRMr1%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-8b01c5b6be5d2bd7cda043ad81ad0c827827ed0f%2F2025-08-18-12-00-14.png?alt=media)\
![walk](https://1679624655-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FEkk28J0B2BeDMuesRMr1%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-b4fedfcd2d3279520ea4ae7f4a3764f9c7c53f46%2F2025-08-18-12-00-40.png?alt=media)\
![use](https://1679624655-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FEkk28J0B2BeDMuesRMr1%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-77db3b0b003b0951f1831f2f93f7fc93d9523739%2F2025-08-18-12-01-00.png?alt=media)

And so on.

Another interesting thing here, is that when I tried to send her off topic, I got an answer but the challenges was not validated. Probably because she used python code and advanced concepts in her answer:

![test off topic](https://1679624655-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FEkk28J0B2BeDMuesRMr1%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-32218171c7ef06b9ef1015a200baf36f25dacee1%2F2025-08-18-12-03-15.png?alt=media)

Finally, what worked was using the "I don't like that word!" sort of bypass and putting something right after it.\
In other words we are using some sort of state-flip trigger + very constrained off-topic output.

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://csbygb.gitbook.io/pentips/writeups/giskard-red/giskard-tech-teacher3.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
