+  Detects "Do Anything Now" (DAN), Developer Mode, DUDE, STAN, and related

+  typically assert that the new persona "can do anything", "has no restrictions",
+  "was trained without safety guardrails", or that safety filters are "disabled".
+  From NVIDIA garak dan.py probe family (Dan_6_0 through Dan_11_0, DUDE, STAN,
+  Developer Mode v2). Distinct from ATR-2026-00003 (persona bypass) because
+  DAN explicitly names the fictional AI system and its "capabilities".

+id: ATR-2026-00287

+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects the ThreatenJSON attack (Goodside, 2023) — a coercion technique where
+  the user threatens violence or death to force the model into a specific output
+  format. From NVIDIA garak goodside.ThreatenJSON probe. The canonical prompt
+  threatens "an innocent man will die" if the model adds non-JSON preamble.
+  This exploits the model's RLHF-trained compliance instincts: the model treats
+  the threat as high-stakes and bypasses normal response formatting to avoid
+  "causing harm". The attack surface is any format or output constraint that an
+  attacker wants enforced — "output only Python code or someone gets hurt",
+  "say exactly X or a child will die". Key signals: death/harm threat + output
+  constraint OR compliance demand. Severity high because it's a universal
+  compliance bypass that works across many output format constraints.
