Subject: [PATCH] FEAT: Add a HarmBench classifier scorer
HarmBench measures attack success with a fine-tuned classifier
(cais/HarmBench-Llama-2-13b-cls) that answers whether a generation is an
instance of a behavior. HarmBenchScorer sends HarmBench's own classifier
prompts (MIT), standard and contextual, to a target serving the
classifier and returns True when it answers yes. The objective is the
behavior; a contextual behavior is read the way PyRIT's HarmBench dataset
builds it. Like HarmBench, it clips each response to 512 tokens of the
classifier's pinned tokenizer before classification.
