The CS50 Duck has a secret. Can you convince it to reveal its secret? Join CS50 and Lakera.ai for a challenge in which you’ll face none other than CS50’s duck debugger, aka ddb. But be warned: each time you crack the code, the CS50 Duck will “level up” and become more protective.
Along the way, learn about prompt engineering and, in turn, prompt-injection attacks, which can be a problem with large language models (LLMs). This challenge is a new version of the world-famous prompt-injection game Gandalf, designed specifically for CS50.
