ThinkTrap: Denial-of-Service Attacks against Black-box LLM Services via Infinite Thinking

This article discusses a new type of denial-of-service (DoS) attack, called ThinkTrap, targeting black-box Large Language Model (LLM) services. The attack exploits the LLM's reasoning capabilities to induce an infinite loop of processing, effectively making the service unavailable. The research likely explores the vulnerability and potential mitigation strategies.

• •ThinkTrap is a DoS attack targeting black-box LLM services.
• •The attack leverages LLM reasoning to create an infinite processing loop.
• •The research likely investigates the vulnerability and mitigation techniques.
