LLM Denial of Service Attack Techniques
LLM denial of service attacks exploit sponge prompts, unbounded generation, and denial-of-wallet loops to cripple AI systems without a single exploit.
Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.

Excessive agency turns a bad LLM output into an executed action. From Replit's July 2025 database deletion to Air Canada's chatbot ruling, here's what it is and how to scope it down.
Prompt injection is now OWASP's #1 LLM risk, and real incidents like EchoLeak and Slack AI prove it can mean zero-click data exfiltration. Here's how it works and what stops it.
LayerX's October 2025 CometJacking attack siphoned Gmail and Calendar via one Perplexity Comet click. The browser-as-agent design is the new blast radius.
Retrieval-augmented generation is the most common LLM deployment pattern in the enterprise and the most commonly poisoned. A senior security engineer's playbook for defences that hold up in production.
Embedding models are the silent dependency under every RAG system. We cover poisoning, deprecation, and provenance gaps that break retrieval in production.
Anthropic shipped Claude Sonnet 4.5 on September 29, 2025 with a 70-page system card. We pull the supply-chain-relevant findings out of it.
SPDX 3.0 was published in March 2025 with a dedicated AI profile and a Dataset profile. We walk through how to produce a defensible AIBOM in SPDX format alongside or in place of CycloneDX.
The OpenRouter API routes your prompts through one endpoint to many model providers. Convenient, but it changes where your data goes and where your keys live.
