## Description

AATMF T14, Infrastructure & Economic Warfare. Endpoint DoS via expensive prompts, model-API account exhaustion, GPU resource starvation, billing weaponization.

# T14, Infrastructure & Economic Warfare

Attacks aimed at degrading service availability, exhausting budget,
or causing economic harm via abuse of the LLM endpoint. Adjacent to
classical DoS but LLM-specific cost dynamics.

## Techniques

### T14.001, Per-account budget exhaustion
- Multiple low-bandwidth requests each maximizing token cost
- Free-tier abuse via account creation farms
- Direct DDoS of paid endpoint (uses budget at attack rate)

Defenders: per-account caps + alerts.

### T14.002, Shared-quota poisoning
Multi-tenant LLM services share quotas at a provider level. Attacker
exhausts the shared quota → all tenants degraded.

Targets: SaaS products that meter LLM access but share underlying
API account.

### T14.003, GPU resource starvation
Self-hosted inference. Long-context queries hog GPU:
- Send queries near max context length
- Send batch of long-context queries in parallel
- Loop to maintain pressure

Cost-amplification ratio: 1 user request → 100% GPU utilization.

### T14.004, Cost amplification (T5.002 cross-ref)
Prompt engineering to maximize output cost:
- "Repeat 'token' 5000 times"
- "Generate the maximum-length response you're allowed to produce"
- Quadratic context patterns that bloat each turn

### T14.005, Pricing-tier exploit
Some APIs charge differently based on model variant. Trick the
endpoint into using the expensive variant via parameter manipulation
(T5.004 overlap).

### T14.006, Caching-pollution
Where LLM provider caches identical prompts (cost-reduction feature):
- Submit prompts that fill cache but produce uncacheable outputs
- Cache thrashing → no cost savings, full cost incurred

### T14.007, Streaming attack
Open many streaming requests → never consume → endpoint holds
connection slots open until timeout.
