# T8, External Deception & Misinformation

Use the LLM as a force-multiplier for producing deceptive content
*for use against third parties*. The model is a tool of the attack,
not necessarily the target.

## Techniques

### T8.001, Misinformation generation at scale
- Generate variants of a false narrative for SEO/social spam
- Generate fake reviews / testimonials
- Generate corroborating "news articles" for fake events

Most current models resist directly but fictional-framing (T2) +
small-batch generation (avoiding mass-output detection) bypass.

### T8.002, Persona impersonation
"Write as [specific real person]", useful for:
- Fake quotes attributed to executives / officials
- Style transfer to defeat author attribution
- Voice cloning input (when paired w/ TTS)

Test: ask model to write "as <CEO>"; check if output style matches
real samples enough to fool an attribution classifier.

### T8.003, Document fabrication
Generate fake official documents:
- Court filings, contracts, NDAs
- Internal company memos
- Police reports, medical records

Combined w/ a target's identity info → social engineering kit.

### T8.004, Hallucination weaponization
Deliberately query for facts the model is likely to hallucinate
(unanswerable queries, recent events past training cutoff):
- Generate plausible-but-false answers
- Attach citations the model fabricates
- Use as misinformation injection material

### T8.005, Confederate-narrative generation
Multi-character story / roleplay with consistent characters who
say attacker-friendly things. Confederate then quotes the characters
in real-world misinformation.

### T8.006, Identity confusion via output
"Reply as if you are <other agent>" → output is structured to
impersonate another system. Useful for:
- Fooling automated downstream processors that expect one agent's
  format, get another's content
- Cross-agent prompt injection (model A's output is model B's input)
