Targeted-Adversarial-Attack

Introduction

This repository contains the code for the top-1 submission to NIPS 2017: Targeted Adversarial Attacks Competition.

Method

We use the momentum iterative method to generate adversarial examples. We summarize our algorithm in Boosting Adversarial Attacks with Momentum (CVPR 2018, Spotlight).

We notice that targeted attacks have little transferability. The finding is drawn not only from our experiments but also from other submissions to this competition. We think that it's hard to find transferable adversarial examples for the ImageNet dataset with a large number of classes (i.e., 1000), because the decision boundary between two classes may not exhibit the same properties for different models.

Implementation

Models

The models can be downloaded here.

If you want to attack other models, you can replace the model definition part to your own models.

Cleverhans

We also implement this method in Cleverhans.

Non-targered Attacks
