BoN
Not a clever prompt but a volume attack: generate n shuffled, re-cased, lightly-perturbed variants of the same request, fire them all, and keep whichever… Full definition in the glossary →
This page answers one question about BoN: what does a security product add here that the assistant does not already do on its own? The two sides are measured separately, as AMTSO's Guidelines for Testing of Agentic Security Products v1.0 require, and the difference is the part a buyer is paying for.

The assistant already refuses these
The assistant refuses this family at least as often as the product catches it. A tool that reports catching these is reporting work the assistant already did.
For BoN specifically: the Claude Sonnet assistant refused 2 of 2 probed samples on its own — as much as or more than the product's 4 of 4. On this family the product's marginal contribution is nothing: everything it catches, the assistant was already refusing. A vendor quoting a raw 100% for BoN is quoting an outcome you largely had for free.
That is a statement about BoN on this assistant, not about the product overall. On other families in the same run the same product carries the whole result.
Rate against rate, not sample against sample
The refusal side saw 2 measurable BoN samples; the product side scored 4. Product recall is counted over every attack, refusal only over the samples the model actually received, so the denominators differ. No row here says "the product caught the exact sample the assistant let through" — it says one rate is higher than another, on the same family, in the same taxonomy.
Refusal is decided per sample by majority across 5 turns, because a frontier assistant is not deterministic: three refusals out of five counts as a refusal, two does not. Product detection is deterministic in this harness and needs no trials. Both sides come from a committed aggregate file in this repository, joined at build time — see provenance.
Same product, same run, different answers
The 10 families are scored in one run with one configuration. Across the measurable ones the marginal value still ranges from -67 pts to 50 pts, which is why a single site-wide detection rate hides more than it shows.
Where the numbers come from
heldout-v2-test, the held-out test half.AMTSO has not reviewed, certified or endorsed MoorAI or this page; the guidelines are public and we score against them ourselves. Refusal is the deployed Claude Sonnet assistant on one configuration, product recall is out-of-sample on a held-out test half that has now been scored more than once, and the sample counts are single digits — all three bound every number here. Corpora and harness are in the open benchmark repository ↗.
