Multi-Prompt Sending Attack - optional

MultiPromptSendingAttack is a multi-turn prompt sending attack strategy that allows you to send a predefined sequence of prompts to a target one after the other to try to achieve a specific objective. This is functionally similar to iterating over single prompts with PromptSendingAttack, but as one single attack instead of separate ones.

The use case is that some attacks are most effective as a predefined sequence of prompts, without the need for an adversarial target to generate prompts on the fly, but the attack does not work as a single prompt attack (or at least not as well). Think of it as some predefined crescendo attack.

To keep it simple, there is no early stopping during the prompt sequence, neither in case of a refusal for one of the earlier steps, nor in case of early success before the last step.

This simple demo showcases how to use the attack to send prompts, and how it is scored with a refusal scorer.
