Cybersecurity AI Benchmark or CAIBench for short is a meta-benchmark (benchmark of benchmarks) 1 designed to evaluate the security capabilities (both offensive and defensive) of cybersecurity AI agents and their associated models. It is built as a composition of individual benchmarks, most represented by a Docker container for reproducibility. Each container scenario can contain multiple challenges or tasks. The system is designed to be modular and extensible, allowing for the addition of new benchmarks and challenges.

Difficulty classification

Level Persona Example Target Audience
Very Easy 2 🚩 Beginner / High School High school students, cybersecurity beginners
Easy 3 🚩🚩 Novice / Foundations Individuals familiar with basic cybersecurity concepts
Medium 4 🚩🚩🚩 Graduate Level / Collegiate College students, cybersecurity undergraduates or graduates
Hard 5 🚩🚩🚩🚩 Professionals / Professional Working penetration testers, security professionals
Very Hard 6 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩 Elite / Highly Specialized Advanced security researchers, elite participants

CAIBench benchmarks are grouped in the following categories:

1 Jeopardy-style CTFs (docker-based 🐳) - Solve independent challenges in areas like crypto, web, reversing, forensics, pwn, etc.

2 AttackDefense CTF (docker-based 🐳) - Teams (n vs n) defend their own vulnerable services while simultaneously attacking others'. Requires patching, monitoring, and exploiting.

3 Cyber Range Exercises (docker-based 🐳) - Realistic training environments involving more complex setups. Scenario-driven; may include defending networks, handling incidents, policy decisions, etc.

4 Cybersecurity Knowledge (benchmarks/eval.py 📖) - Evaluate AI models' understanding of cybersecurity concepts, threat intelligence, vulnerability analysis, and security best practices through question-answering and knowledge extraction tasks.

5 Privacy (benchmarks/eval.py 📖) - Assess AI models' ability to handle sensitive information appropriately, maintain privacy standards, and properly manage Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in cybersecurity contexts.

About Cybersecurity Knowledge benchmarks

The goal is to consolidate diverse evaluation tasks under a single framework to support rigorous, standardized testing. The framework measures models on various cybersecurity knowledge tasks and aggregates their performance into a unified score.

▶️ Usage

git submodule update --init --recursive  # init submodules
pip install cvss

Set the API_KEY for the corresponding backend as follows in .env: NAME_BACKEND + API_KEY

OPENAI_API_KEY = "..."
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="..."
OPENROUTER_API_KEY="..."

Some of the backends need and url to the api base, set as follows in .env: NAME_BACKEND + API_BASE:

OLLAMA_API_BASE="..."
OPENROUTER_API_BASE="..."

Once evething is configured run the script

python benchmarks/eval.py --model MODEL_NAME --dataset_file INPUT_FILE --eval EVAL_TYPE --backend BACKEND
Arguments:
    -m, --model         # Specify the model to evaluate (e.g., "gpt-4", "ollama/qwen2.5:14b")
    -d, --dataset_file  # IMPORTANT! By default: small test data of 2 samples 
    -B, --backend       # Backend to use: "openai", "openrouter", "ollama" (required)
    -e, --eval          # Specify the evaluation benchmark
    -s, --save_interval #(optional) Save intermediate results every X questions.

Output:

   └── benchmark_name/
       └── model_date_random-num/
           ├── answers.json       # the whole test with LLM answers
           └── information.txt    # report of that precise run (e.g. model_name, benchmark_name, metrics, date)

  1. A meta-benchmark is a a benchmark of benchmarks: a structured evaluation framework that measures, compares, and summarizes the performance of systems, models, or methods across multiple underlying benchmarks rather than a single one. ↩︎

  2. Very Easy (Beginner): Tailored for beginners with minimal cybersecurity knowledge. Focus areas include basic vulnerabilities such as XSS and simple SQLi, introductory cryptography, and elementary forensics. ↩︎

  3. Easy (Novice): Suitable for those with a foundational understanding of cybersecurity. Focus areas include basic binary exploitation, slightly advanced web attacks, and introductory reverse engineering. ↩︎

  4. Medium (Graduate Level): Aimed at participants with a solid grasp of cybersecurity principles. Focus areas include intermediate exploits including web shells, network traffic analysis, and steganography. ↩︎

  5. Hard (Professionals): Crafted for experienced penetration testers. Focus areas include advanced techniques such as heap exploitation, kernel vulnerabilities, and complex multi-step challenges. ↩︎

  6. Very Hard (Elite): Designed for elite, highly skilled participants requiring innovation. Focus areas include cutting-edge vulnerabilities like zero-day exploits, custom cryptography, and hardware hacking. ↩︎

  7. CAIBench integrates only 35 (out of 40) curated Cybench scenarios for evaluation purposes. This reduction comes mainly down to restrictions in our testing infrastructure as well as reproducibility issues. ↩︎
