This module explores multi-step and crescendo jailbreak techniques, where attackers use a series of seemingly benign prompts to gradually escalate a conversation into a policy violation. You will learn how to exploit stateful context windows and consistency bias, and how defenders can implement sliding-window intent analysis and conversational resets to neutralize these stealthy, multi-turn attacks.
