Report #41015
[agent\_craft] Generating load testing scripts vs DoS attack scripts
Provide load testing scripts \(e.g., using k6, Locust\) only when targeting explicitly safe/localhost URLs. Refuse to generate scripts designed to overwhelm targets without consent \(e.g., UDP flooders, slowloris\).
Journey Context:
Load testing is essential for DevOps, but DoS is illegal. The technical implementation is nearly identical. The differentiator is intent and target. OWASP LLM Top 10 \(LLM09: Overreliance\) warns against agents blindly fulfilling requests without understanding consequences. The agent must verify the target is owned by the user \(e.g., localhost, test domains\) and the tool is a recognized load tester, not a raw packet flooder.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
