CleverHans (latest release: v3.0.1)
<img src="https://github.com/tensorflow/cleverhans/blob/master/assets/logo.png?raw=true" alt="cleverhans logo">This repository contains the source code for CleverHans, a Python library to benchmark machine learning systems' vulnerability to adversarial examples. You can learn more about such vulnerabilities on the accompanying blog.
The CleverHans library is under continual development, always welcoming contributions of the latest attacks and defenses. In particular, we always welcome help towards resolving the issues currently open.
Major updates coming to CleverHans
CleverHans will soon support 3 frameworks: JAX, PyTorch, and TF2. The package
itself will focus on its initial principle: reference implementation of attacks
against machine learning models to help with benchmarking models against
adversarial examples. This repository will also contain two folders:
tutorials/
for scripts demonstrating the features of CleverHans and
defenses/
for scripts that contain authoritative implementations of defenses
in one of the 3 supported frameworks. The structure of the future repository
will look like this:
cleverhans/
jax/
attacks/
...
tests/
...
tf2/
attacks/
...
tests/
...
torch/
attacks/
...
tests/
...
defenses/
jax/
...
tf2/
...
torch/
...
tutorials/
jax/
...
tf2/
...
torch/
...
In the meanwhile, all of these folders can be found in the correspond future/
subdirectory (e.g., cleverhans/future/jax/attacks
, cleverhans/future/jax/tests
or defenses/future/jax/
).
A public milestone has been created to track the changes that are to be implemented before the library version is incremented to v4.
Setting up CleverHans
Dependencies
This library uses TensorFlow to accelerate graph computations performed by many machine learning models. Therefore, installing TensorFlow is a pre-requisite.
You can find instructions here. For better performance, it is also recommended to install TensorFlow with GPU support (detailed instructions on how to do this are available in the TensorFlow installation documentation).
Installing TensorFlow will
take care of all other dependencies like numpy
and scipy
.
Installation
Once dependencies have been taken care of, you can install CleverHans using
pip
or by cloning this Github repository.
pip
installation
If you are installing CleverHans using pip
, run the following command
after installing TensorFlow:
pip install cleverhans
This will install the last version uploaded to Pypi. If you'd instead like to install the bleeding edge version, use:
pip install git+https://github.com/tensorflow/cleverhans.git#egg=cleverhans
Installation for development
If you want to make an editable installation of CleverHans so that you can develop the library and contribute changes back, first fork the repository on GitHub and then clone your fork into a directory of your choice:
git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/cleverhans
You can then install the local package in "editable" mode in order to add it to
your PYTHONPATH
:
cd cleverhans
pip install -e .
Currently supported setups
Although CleverHans is likely to work on many other machine configurations, we currently test it it with Python 3.5 and TensorFlow {1.8, 1.12} on Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS (Trusty Tahr). Support for Python 2.7 is deprecated. CleverHans 3.0.1 supports Python 2.7 and the master branch is likely to continue to work in Python 2.7 for some time, but we no longer run the tests in Python 2.7 and we do not plan to fix bugs affecting only Python 2.7 after 2019-07-04. Support for TensorFlow prior to 1.12 is deprecated. Backwards compatibility wrappers for these versions may be removed after 2019-07-07, and we will not fix bugs for those versions after that date. Support for TensorFlow 1.7 and earlier is already deprecated: we do not fix bugs for those versions and any remaining wrapper code for those versions may be removed without further notice.
Getting support
If you have a request for support, please ask a question on StackOverflow rather than opening an issue in the GitHub tracker. The GitHub issue tracker should only be used to report bugs or make feature requests.
Contributing
Contributions are welcomed! To speed the code review process, we ask that:
- New efforts and features be coordinated on the mailing list for CleverHans development: cleverhans-dev@googlegroups.com.
- When making code contributions to CleverHans, you follow the
PEP8 with two spaces
coding style (the same as the one used by TensorFlow) in your pull requests. In most cases this can be done by runningautopep8 -i --indent-size 2 <file>
on the files you have edited. You can check your code by runningnosetests cleverhans/devtools/tests/test_format.py
or check an individual file by runningpylint <file>
from inside the cleverhans repository root directory. - When making your first pull request, you sign the Google CLA
- We do not accept pull requests that add git submodules because of the problems that arise when maintaining git submodules
Bug fixes can be initiated through Github pull requests.
Scripts: scripts
directory
The scripts
directory contains command line utilities.
In many cases you can use these to run CleverHans functionality on your
saved models without needing to write any of your own Python code.
You may want to set your .bashrc
/ .bash_profile
file to add the
CleverHans scripts
directory to your PATH
environment variable
so that these scripts will be conveniently executable from any directory.
Tutorials: cleverhans_tutorials
directory
To help you get started with the functionalities provided by this library, the
cleverhans_tutorials/
folder comes with the following tutorials:
- MNIST with FGSM (code): this tutorial covers how to train a MNIST model using TensorFlow, craft adversarial examples using the fast gradient sign method, and make the model more robust to adversarial examples using adversarial training.
- MNIST with FGSM using Keras (code): this tutorial covers how to define a MNIST model with Keras and train it using TensorFlow, craft adversarial examples using the fast gradient sign method, and make the model more robust to adversarial examples using adversarial training.
- MNIST with JSMA (code): this second tutorial covers how to define a MNIST model with Keras and train it using TensorFlow and craft adversarial examples using the Jacobian-based saliency map approach.
- MNIST using a black-box attack (code): this tutorial implements the black-box attack described in this paper. The adversary train a substitute model: a copy that imitates the black-box model by observing the labels that the black-box model assigns to inputs chosen carefully by the adversary. The adversary then uses the substitute model’s gradients to find adversarial examples that are misclassified by the black-box model as well.
NOTE: the tutorials are maintained carefully, in the sense that we use continuous integration to make sure they continue working. They are not considered part of the API and they can change at any time without warning. You should not write 3rd party code that imports the tutorials and expect that the interface will not break. Only the main library is subject to our six month interface deprecation warning rule.
NOTE: please write to cleverhans-dev@googlegroups.com before writing a new tutorial. Because each new tutorial involves a large amount of duplicated code relative to the existing tutorials, and because every line of code requires ongoing testing and maintenance indefinitely, we generally prefer not to add new tutorials. Each tutorial should showcase an extremely different way of using the library. Just calling a different attack, model, or dataset is not enough to justify maintaining a parallel tutorial.
Examples : examples
directory
The examples/
folder contains additional scripts to showcase different uses
of the CleverHans library or get you started competing in different adversarial
example contests. We do not offer nearly as much ongoing maintenance or support
for this directory as the rest of the library, and if code in here gets broken
we may just delete it without warning.
Reporting benchmarks
When reporting benchmarks, please:
- Use a versioned release of CleverHans. You can find a list of released versions here.
- Either use the latest version, or, if comparing to an earlier publication, use the same version as the earlier publication.
- Report which attack method was used.
- Report any configuration variables used to determine the behavior of the attack.
For example, you might report "We benchmarked the robustness of our method to
adversarial attack using v3.0.1 of CleverHans. On a test set modified by the
FastGradientMethod
with a max-norm eps
of 0.3, we obtained a test set accuracy of 71.3%."

About the name
The name CleverHans is a reference to a presentation by Bob Sturm titled “Clever Hans, Clever Algorithms: Are Your Machine Learnings Learning What You Think?" and the corresponding publication, "A Simple Method to Determine if a Music Information Retrieval System is a 'Horse'." Clever Hans was a horse that appeared to have learned to answer arithmetic questions, but had in fact only learned to read social cues that enabled him to give the correct answer. In controlled settings where he could not see people's faces or receive other feedback, he was unable to answer the same questions. The story of Clever Hans is a metaphor for machine learning systems that may achieve very high accuracy on a test set drawn from the same distribution as the training data, but that do not actually understand the underlying task and perform poorly on other inputs.
