Capabilities

1. Adversarial Example Generation (ART)

Generate adversarial examples using the ART framework:

from art.attacks.evasion import FastGradientMethod, ProjectedGradientDescent
from art.estimators.classification import TensorFlowV2Classifier, PyTorchClassifier
import numpy as np

# Wrap your model with ART classifier
classifier = PyTorchClassifier(
    model=model,
    loss=criterion,
    optimizer=optimizer,
    input_shape=(3, 224, 224),
    nb_classes=10
)

# Fast Gradient Sign Method (FGSM)
attack_fgsm = FastGradientMethod(estimator=classifier, eps=0.3)
x_adv_fgsm = attack_fgsm.generate(x=x_test)

# Projected Gradient Descent (PGD)
attack_pgd = ProjectedGradientDescent(
    estimator=classifier,
    eps=0.3,
    eps_step=0.01,
    max_iter=100,
    targeted=False
)
x_adv_pgd = attack_pgd.generate(x=x_test)

# Evaluate attack success
predictions_clean = classifier.predict(x_test)
predictions_adv = classifier.predict(x_adv_pgd)
accuracy_clean = np.mean(np.argmax(predictions_clean, axis=1) == y_test)
accuracy_adv = np.mean(np.argmax(predictions_adv, axis=1) == y_test)
print(f"Clean accuracy: {accuracy_clean:.2%}")

Error Handling

• Validate model compatibility with ART wrappers
• Handle GPU memory limitations gracefully
• Provide fallback to CPU for large-scale evaluations
• Log attack progress for long-running operations
• Save intermediate results for resumable evaluations

Constraints

• Only test models you own or have authorization to test
• Document all findings for responsible disclosure
• Do not use for malicious attacks on production systems
• Respect rate limits when testing ML APIs
• Follow ML fairness and ethics guidelines
• Consider computational costs for large-scale evaluations
