yogsoth-ai Systematic Probing Strategy
Anthropic-style systematic probing: exhaustive coverage of all threat surfaces with structured attack generation and execution.
Method
- threat-surface-mapping enumerates all attackable surfaces of the artifact
- attack-vector-generation produces specific attacks per surface
- Vectors prioritized by expected severity and likelihood
- probe-execution executes each attack, records success/failure/partial
- Failed probes trigger deeper investigation via follow-up vectors
- attack-resilience-scoring computes coverage and resilience metrics
Budget Table
| Parameter | S | M | L |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attack vectors | 5 | 12 | 20 |
| Probing rounds | 3 | 6 | 10 |
| Personas | 2 | 4 | 6 |
| Assumption checks | 5 | 10 | 20 |
Orchestration
threat-surface-mapping → [enumerate surfaces]
→ [for each surface]:
attack-vector-generation (generate vectors)
→ [for each vector]:
probe-execution (execute attack)
→ (if partial success: generate follow-up vectors)
→ finding-aggregation → attack-resilience-scoring
Subagents
- threat-surface-mapping (surface enumeration)
- attack-vector-generation (vector design)
- probe-execution (attack execution)
- finding-aggregation (result synthesis)
- attack-resilience-scoring (metric computation)
Available Tactics
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| Tactic | When to use |
|---|---|
| assumption-cascade | Tactic: Surface assumptions, sort by dependency, attack root assumptions first, then trace cascade failures through the dependency graph. |
| structured-attack-campaign | Tactic: Full attack lifecycle — threat surface enumeration, attack vector generation, systematic probing, and finding aggregation across all surfaces. |
Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use |
|---|---|
| attack-resilience-scoring | Compute overall resilience score (0.0-1.0) based on attack results, coverage, and vulnerability severity distribution. |
| attack-vector-generation | Generate specific attack strategies for a given threat surface, producing concrete probes that can be executed. |
| finding-aggregation | Aggregate, deduplicate, and classify findings from multiple probes into a coherent vulnerability report. |
| probe-execution | Execute a single attack probe against an artifact, record the result with evidence and severity classification. |
| threat-surface-mapping | Enumerate all attackable surfaces of an artifact — logical, empirical, methodological, social, and practical dimensions. |
