## Abstract (arXiv)

The rapid integration of Generative AI (GenAI) into various applications necessitates robust risk management strategies which includes Red Teaming (RT) - an evaluation method for simulating adversarial attacks. Unfortunately, RT for GenAI is often hindered by technical complexity, lack of user-friendly interfaces, and inadequate reporting features. This paper introduces Violent UTF - an accessible, modular, and scalable platform for GenAI red teaming. Through intuitive interfaces (Web GUI, CLI, API, MCP) powered by LLMs and for LLMs, Violent UTF aims to empower non-technical domain experts and students alongside technical experts, facilitate comprehensive security evaluation by unifying capabilities from RT frameworks like Microsoft PyRIT, Nvidia Garak and its own specialized evaluators. ViolentUTF is being used for evaluating the robustness of a flagship LLM-based product in a large US Government department. It also demonstrates effectiveness in evaluating LLMs' cross-domain reasoning capability between cybersecurity and behavioral psychology.
