AML.T0042
Verify Attack

MITRE source definition

Adversaries can verify the efficacy of their attack via an inference API or access to an offline copy of the target model. This gives the adversary confidence that their approach works and allows them to carry out the attack at a later time of their choosing. The adversary may verify the attack once but use it against many edge devices running copies of the target model. The adversary may verify their attack digitally, then deploy it in the [Physical Environment Access](/techniques/AML.T0041) at a later time. Verifying the attack may be hard to detect since the adversary can use a minimal number of queries or an offline copy of the model.

Simulation and telemetry boundary

This is a technique reference page, not a runnable simulation. No ATLAS-specific telemetry mapping, local attack execution or detector validation is asserted. MITRE maturity describes its source evidence, not a 1200km lab result.

For broader context—not technique-specific control mappings—see AI Security, AI Security Course, and detection-validation methodology.
