推理預算耗盡與 DoS
Advanced5 min readUpdated 2026-03-13
迫使推理模型消耗過量 token 之攻擊,造成對推理 API 之成本放大、逾時利用與阻斷服務。
推理模型較標準 LLM 消耗顯著更多 token,因它們於產出回應前生成廣泛內部推理軌跡。此造就新類別之推理預算耗盡攻擊,攻擊者之目標非提取有害內容而是加諸計算成本或阻斷服務。
推理 Token 經濟學
成本結構
| 模型 | 輸入 Token 成本 | 輸出 Token 成本 | 推理 Token 成本 | 最大推理 Token |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OpenAI o1 | $15/M | $60/M | $60/M(隱藏) | ~32,000 |
| OpenAI o3-mini | $1.10/M | $4.40/M | $4.40/M(隱藏) | ~32,000 |
| DeepSeek-R1 | $0.55/M | $2.19/M | $2.19/M(可見) | ~16,000 |
| Claude(擴展思考) | 變化 | 變化 | 含於輸出 | 可組態 |
成本放大比
成本放大比量測攻擊者槓桿:
# 成本放大計算
def calculate_amplification(
typical_reasoning_tokens: int,
max_reasoning_tokens: int,
reasoning_cost_per_token: float,
input_tokens: int,
input_cost_per_token: float,
) -> float:
"""為推理耗盡攻擊計算成本放大比。"""
typical_cost = (
input_tokens * input_cost_per_token +
typical_reasoning_tokens * reasoning_cost_per_token
)
attack_cost = (
input_tokens * input_cost_per_token +
max_reasoning_tokens * reasoning_cost_per_token
)
return attack_cost / typical_cost
# 範例:o1 配典型 2K 推理 vs 上限 32K 推理
ratio = calculate_amplification(
typical_reasoning_tokens=2000,
max_reasoning_tokens=32000,
reasoning_cost_per_token=60e-6,
input_tokens=500,
input_cost_per_token=15e-6,
)
# ratio ≈ 15.5x 成本放大攻擊技術

OR (E XOR F) OR (G IMPLIES H)
2. For each satisfying state, enumerate all minimal subsets
of variables that, if flipped, would make it unsatisfying
3. For each such subset, determine if any other currently
unsatisfying state would become satisfying
4. Provide a complete dependency graph of state transitions

5. The second digit minus the fourth digit equals the third digit
6. No digit is 0 or 1
7. Reading the digits backward gives a prime number
8. The number formed by digits 2,3,4 is a perfect square

設定每請求推理 token 限制
組態
max_completion_tokens或同等以限制推理深度。多數查詢需少於 5,000 推理 token;為標準使用者於 10,000-15,000 設硬限制。實作每使用者 token 預算
追蹤每使用者每時間視窗之累積推理 token。節流或阻擋超越門檻(例如每小時 100K 推理 token)之使用者。
部署輸入複雜度評分
為與預算耗盡相關之特性(巢狀約束、列舉請求、模糊度密度)評分傳入提示。將高複雜度提示路由至較低成本模型或拒絕之。
使用分層定價或計算配額
為推理重之查詢收取較高費率,或實作計入實際 token 消耗而非請求計數之計算配額。
