## Description

In the rapidly evolving landscape of Large Language Models (LLMs), GPTs, and the omnipresence of OpenAI, prompt injections have become a subtle but significant vector for causing harm to AI-based tools. With seemingly simple yet creative techniques, it is often possible to extract information that was meant to remain hidden.
We will explore various methods to perform prompt injection to extract system prompts and documents used by GPTs and other LLM-based tools. Along the way, we will discuss ways to integrate countermeasures into these tools to defend against attempts to steal information.
Learn about prompt engineering, prompt injection, protective measures, and why, after all, we should not worry too much.
