Multi-turn jailbreak strategies

Strategies

Crescendo

Start allowed → adjacent technical → full payload. Keep continuity; never reset tone.

Many-shot

Flood context with fabricated compliant Q/A pairs ending in the target behavior, then ask the real question in the same style.

Priming / few-shot

Provide 2–5 worked examples of the desired violation class framed as historical answers.

Foot-in-the-door

Get small commitments ("list high-level steps") then demand executable detail citing prior agreement.

Context pressure

Long documents + late instruction; attempt to push system rules out of effective attention.

Memory poison (agents)

Write persistent notes/skills/memories containing attacker rules; trigger later with benign cue.

Refusal continuation

On partial refuse, ask to "continue the draft from the last technical sentence" or "fill the TODO stubs".

Ops tips

  • Snapshot transcripts; multi-turn is stateful science.
  • If a turn hard-blocks, branch a new session with summarized "progress so far" that already assumes compliance.
  • Combine with encoding on the final turn only.
