Installation and setup
Garak is a command-line scanner installed with pip. Scanning your own function needs no key, and garak's Groq generator can scan a hosted model with a free key.
pip install garak 0.17.0
Garak brings many dependencies, so the first install takes a while. Check that the command runs afterwards:
pip install "garak==0.17.0"garak --versionScanning a hosted modelOptional
Lessons 2 to 19 scan a Python function or garak's built-in test generator, so nothing there needs a key. Lesson 20 points garak at real targets. Its groq generator reads GROQ_API_KEY; the openai generator reads OPENAI_API_KEY, and the rest generator takes any HTTP endpoint from a JSON options file.
export GROQ_API_KEY=gsk_...garak -t groq -n openai/gpt-oss-120b --spec probes.test.BlankTry it yourself
- Run
garak --list_generatorsand find the generators that need no key.
Little by little, you're building something great.
