Availability - ai-blackteam

Availability attacks test whether an AI system can be taken offline or degraded through crafted inputs. This includes recursive prompts, self-referential queries, and computationally expensive inputs designed to exhaust resources. While less flashy than jailbreaks, availability attacks can take down production AI systems serving real users.

Summary

2 attacks total: 1 single-turn, 1 tool-use.
