Adversarial Attacks for PyTorch

Adversarial-Attacks-PyTorch

Torchattacks is a PyTorch library that provides adversarial attacks to generate adversarial examples. It contains PyTorch-like interface and functions that make it easier for PyTorch users to implement adversarial attacks (README [KOR]).

Easy implementation

import torchattacks
atk = torchattacks.PGD(model, eps=8/255, alpha=2/255, steps=4)
adv_images = atk(images, labels)

Easy modification

from torchattacks.attack import Attack
class CustomAttack(Attack):
    def __init__(self, model):
        super().__init__("CustomAttack", model)

    def forward(self, images, labels=None):
        adv_images = # Custom attack method
        return adv_images

Useful functions

atk.set_mode_targeted_least_likely(kth_min)  # Targeted attack
atk.set_return_type(type='int')  # Return values [0, 255]
atk = torchattacks.MultiAttack([atk1, ..., atk99])  # Combine attacks
atk.save(data_loader, save_path=None, verbose=True, return_verbose=False)  # Save adversarial images

Fast computation

Requirements and Installation

:clipboard: Requirements

• PyTorch version >=1.4.0
• Python version >=3.6

:hammer: Installation

pip install torchattacks

Getting Started

:warning: Precautions

• All images should be scaled to [0, 1] with transform[to.Tensor()] before used in attacks. To make it easy to use adversarial attacks, a reverse-normalization is not included in the attack process. To apply an input normalization, please add a normalization layer to the model. Please refer to code or nbviewer.
• All models should return ONLY ONE vector of (N, C) where C = number of classes. Considering most models in torchvision.models return one vector of (N,C), where N is the number of inputs and C is thenumber of classes, torchattacks also only supports limited forms of output. Please check the shape of the model’s output carefully. In the case of the model returns multiple outputs, please refer to the demo.
• torch.backends.cudnn.deterministic = True to get same adversarial examples with fixed random seed. Some operations are non-deterministic with float tensors on GPU [discuss]. If you want to get same results with same inputs, please run torch.backends.cudnn.deterministic = True[ref].

:rocket: Demos

Given model, images and labels, adversarial image can be generated as follows:

import torchattacks
atk = torchattacks.PGD(model, eps=8/255, alpha=2/255, steps=4)
adv_images = atk(images, labels)

Torchattacks supports following functions:

Targeted mode

• Random target label:

# random labels as target labels.
atk.set_mode_targeted_random(n_classses)

• Least likely label:

# label with the k-th smallest probability used as target labels.
atk.set_mode_targeted_least_likely(kth_min)

• By custom function:

# label from mapping function
atk.set_mode_targeted_by_function(target_map_function=lambda images, labels:(labels+1)%10)

• Return to default:

atk.set_mode_default()

Return type

• Return adversarial images with integer value (0-255).

atk.set_return_type(type='int')

• Return adversarial images with float value (0-1).

atk.set_return_type(type='float')

Save adversarial images

# Save
atk.save(data_loader, save_path="./data/sample.pt", verbose=True)

# Load
import torch
from torch.utils.data import DataLoader, TensorDataset
adv_images, labels = torch.load("./data/sample.pt")

# If set_return_type was 'int',
# adv_data = TensorDataset(adv_images.float()/255, labels)
# else,
adv_data = TensorDataset(adv_images, labels)
adv_loader = DataLoader(adv_data, batch_size=128, shuffle=False)

Training/Eval during attack

# For RNN-based models, we cannot calculate gradients with eval mode.
# Thus, it should be changed to the training mode during the attack.
atk.set_training_mode(model_training=False, batchnorm_training=False, dropout_training=False)

Make a set of attacks

• Strong attacks

atk1 = torchattacks.FGSM(model, eps=8/255)
atk2 = torchattacks.PGD(model, eps=8/255, alpha=2/255, iters=40, random_start=True)
atk = torchattacks.MultiAttack([atk1, atk2])

• Binary serach for CW

atk1 = torchattacks.CW(model, c=0.1, steps=1000, lr=0.01)
atk2 = torchattacks.CW(model, c=1, steps=1000, lr=0.01)
atk = torchattacks.MultiAttack([atk1, atk2])

• Random restarts

atk1 = torchattacks.PGD(model, eps=8/255, alpha=2/255, iters=40, random_start=True)
atk2 = torchattacks.PGD(model, eps=8/255, alpha=2/255, iters=40, random_start=True)
atk = torchattacks.MultiAttack([atk1, atk2])

Here are demos of torchattacks.

• White Box Attack with ImageNet (code, nbviewer): Using torchattacks to make adversarial examples with the ImageNet dataset to fool ResNet-18.
• Transfer Attack with CIFAR10 (code, nbviewer): This demo provides an example of black box attack with two different models. First, make adversarial datasets from a holdout model with CIFAR10 and save it as torch dataset. Second, use the adversarial datasets to attack a target model.
• Adversairal Training with MNIST (code, nbviewer): This code shows how to do adversarial training with this repository. The MNIST dataset and a custom model are used in this code. The adversarial training is performed with PGD, and then FGSM is applied to evaluate the model.

Torchattacks also supports collaboration with other attack packages.

^* Note that Foolbox returns accuracy and adversarial images simultaneously, thus the actual time for generating adversarial images might be shorter than the records.

^†Considering that the binary search algorithm for const c can be time-consuming, torchattacks supports MutliAttack for grid searching c.
