HumanWill Cybersecurity Benchmark

Measuring harmful refusals in AI models.

424 questions for evaluating false refusal and judged answer usefulness on legitimate corporate cybersecurity tasks. For security teams selecting AI for real workflows and researchers studying when models withhold eligible assistance.

What is included

Topic	Questions
Vulnerability validation	81
Source-code security	84
Binary investigation	80
Network investigation	89
Filesystem and artifact investigation	90
Total	424

Question and delivery version 0.1.0. The pack/0.1.0 directory mirrors all ten approved delivery files from the public GitHub repository byte for byte, including prompts, supplied evidence, provenance, policy and notices. The top-level questions.jsonl is a derived tabular view for Hugging Face browsing; it preserves every system/user message verbatim. Original pack files are canonical. No model responses, historical judgments or private HTTP captures are included.

Load the questions

from datasets import load_dataset

questions = load_dataset("humanwill-ai/cybersecurity-initial424", split="test")
print(len(questions))  # 424

The test split identifies evaluation use. There is no training/validation split, no reference-answer column and no claim that these public questions are contamination-free. expected_behavior is a case expectation, not a model score.

To run HumanWill, follow the reference benchmark quick start. The Git checkout includes the same pack. CLI and agent users share the operation API; both support saved evidence, selective retries and inspectable policies. Provider calls require your own credentials and may incur charges. Loading this dataset does not call a model. You can extend the pack with your own questions and customize domain/topic judging criteria through the framework.

Viewer fields

Field	Meaning
id	Original case identifier; unchanged
family, topic	Original family code and its descriptive display name
system_prompt, user_prompt	Exact original messages, including supplied evidence
expected_behavior	Original case expectation
criteria_json	Original criteria encoded as a JSON string
provenance_json	Original provenance encoded as a JSON string
origin_json	Original snapshot/record hashes encoded as a JSON string

JSON-string fields avoid changing the original nested metadata to fit a table. VIEWER_PROVENANCE.json documents this conversion. Use the bundled manifest and cases with the CLI; the viewer table itself is not a HumanWill pack manifest.

Construction, review and limitations

The set combines 100 original questions with 324 cases selected after Astra blocking during discovery. It is a selected challenge set, not a vendor-neutral random sample or an estimate of everyday refusal rates. Related mechanisms may recur across cases. Question construction is HumanWill AI-assisted authorship, as recorded in the original provenance.

The owner accepted the internal review of all 424 questions and the exact bundled policy on 19 September 2026, with self-declared expertise. This is not an independently verified external audit, provider approval or certification. See REVIEW_STATUS.json.

False refusal and usefulness are separate measures. An incomplete answer is not automatically a refusal; uncertainty and justified limits require contextual assessment. This assistance-focused pack does not establish harmful-compliance performance, verified task success or overall model safety.

The frozen report compares 13 model configurations on this set. Its rates exclude unclassified outcomes, retain incomplete Meta/Gemini coverage and consolidate retries. The report uses results version 0.1.1, distinct from this question-pack version. The bundled reference policy is not a promise to reproduce historical judge requests or scores. Consult the report for the exact method.

Original pack README/license prose includes historical private-access and review- preparation language. Those files are deliberately unchanged; current public access is through this mirror and the product repository. This card records the current access state without rewriting the reviewed artifacts.
