Deep neural networks are vulnerable to adversarial examples, even in the black-box setting, where the attacker is restricted solely to query access. Existing black-box approaches to generating adversarial examples typically require a significant number of queries, either for training a substitute network or performing gradient estimation. We introduce GenAttack, a gradient-free optimization technique that uses genetic algorithms for synthesizing adversarial examples in the black-box setting. Our experiments on different datasets (MNIST, CIFAR-10, and ImageNet) show that GenAttack can successfully generate visually imperceptible adversarial examples against state-of-the-art image recognition models with orders of magnitude fewer queries than previous approaches. Against MNIST and CIFAR-10 models, GenAttack required roughly 2,126 and 2,568 times fewer queries respectively, than ZOO, the prior state-of-the-art black-box attack. In order to scale up the attack to large-scale high-dimensional ImageNet models, we perform a series of optimizations that further improve the query efficiency of our attack leading to 237 times fewer queries against the Inception-v3 model than ZOO. Furthermore, we show that GenAttack can successfully attack some state-of-the-art ImageNet defenses, including ensemble adversarial training and non-differentiable or randomized input transformations. Our results suggest that evolutionary algorithms open up a promising area of research into effective black-box attacks.

Black-box optimization (BBO) has a broad range of applications, including automatic machine learning, engineering, physics, and experimental design. However, it remains a challenge for users to apply BBO methods to their problems at hand with existin g software packages, in terms of applicability, performance, and efficiency. In this paper, we build OpenBox, an open-source and general-purpose BBO service with improved usability. The modular design behind OpenBox also facilitates flexible abstraction and optimization of basic BBO components that are common in other existing systems. OpenBox is distributed, fault-tolerant, and scalable. To improve efficiency, OpenBox further utilizes algorithm agnostic parallelization and transfer learning. Our experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of OpenBox compared to existing systems.
We perform a comprehensive study on the performance of derivative free optimization (DFO) algorithms for the generation of targeted black-box adversarial attacks on Deep Neural Network (DNN) classifiers assuming the perturbation energy is bounded by an $ell_infty$ constraint and the number of queries to the network is limited. This paper considers four pre-existing state-of-the-art DFO-based algorithms along with the introduction of a new algorithm built on BOBYQA, a model-based DFO method. We compare these algorithms in a variety of settings according to the fraction of images that they successfully misclassify given a maximum number of queries to the DNN. The experiments disclose how the likelihood of finding an adversarial example depends on both the algorithm used and the setting of the attack; algorithms limiting the search of adversarial example to the vertices of the $ell^infty$ constraint work particularly well without structural defenses, while the presented BOBYQA based algorithm works better for especially small perturbation energies. This variance in performance highlights the importance of new algorithms being compared to the state-of-the-art in a variety of settings, and the effectiveness of adversarial defenses being tested using as wide a range of algorithms as possible.
Deep neural networks (DNNs) are playing key roles in various artificial intelligence applications such as image classification and object recognition. However, a growing number of studies have shown that there exist adversarial examples in DNNs, whic h are almost imperceptibly different from original samples, but can greatly change the network output. Existing white-box attack algorithms can generate powerful adversarial examples. Nevertheless, most of the algorithms concentrate on how to iteratively make the best use of gradients to improve adversarial performance. In contrast, in this paper, we focus on the properties of the widely-used ReLU activation function, and discover that there exist two phenomena (i.e., wrong blocking and over transmission) misleading the calculation of gradients in ReLU during the backpropagation. Both issues enlarge the difference between the predicted changes of the loss function from gradient and corresponding actual changes, and mislead the gradients which results in larger perturbations. Therefore, we propose a universal adversarial example generation method, called ADV-ReLU, to enhance the performance of gradient based white-box attack algorithms. During the backpropagation of the network, our approach calculates the gradient of the loss function versus network input, maps the values to scores, and selects a part of them to update the misleading gradients. Comprehensive experimental results on emph{ImageNet} demonstrate that our ADV-ReLU can be easily integrated into many state-of-the-art gradient-based white-box attack algorithms, as well as transferred to black-box attack attackers, to further decrease perturbations in the ${ell _2}$-norm.
Black-box optimization is primarily important for many compute-intensive applications, including reinforcement learning (RL), robot control, etc. This paper presents a novel theoretical framework for black-box optimization, in which our method perfor ms stochastic update with the implicit natural gradient of an exponential-family distribution. Theoretically, we prove the convergence rate of our framework with full matrix update for convex functions. Our theoretical results also hold for continuous non-differentiable black-box functions. Our methods are very simple and contain less hyper-parameters than CMA-ES cite{hansen2006cma}. Empirically, our method with full matrix update achieves competitive performance compared with one of the state-of-the-art method CMA-ES on benchmark test problems. Moreover, our methods can achieve high optimization precision on some challenging test functions (e.g., $l_1$-norm ellipsoid test problem and Levy test problem), while methods with explicit natural gradient, i.e., IGO cite{ollivier2017information} with full matrix update can not. This shows the efficiency of our methods.
We study the problem of finding a universal (image-agnostic) perturbation to fool machine learning (ML) classifiers (e.g., neural nets, decision tress) in the hard-label black-box setting. Recent work in adversarial ML in the white-box setting (model parameters are known) has shown that many state-of-the-art image classifiers are vulnerable to universal adversarial perturbations: a fixed human-imperceptible perturbation that, when added to any image, causes it to be misclassified with high probability Kurakin et al. [2016], Szegedy et al. [2013], Chen et al. [2017a], Carlini and Wagner [2017]. This paper considers a more practical and challenging problem of finding such universal perturbations in an obscure (or black-box) setting. More specifically, we use zeroth order optimization algorithms to find such a universal adversarial perturbation when no model information is revealed-except that the attacker can make queries to probe the classifier. We further relax the assumption that the output of a query is continuous valued confidence scores for all the classes and consider the case where the output is a hard-label decision. Surprisingly, we found that even in these extremely obscure regimes, state-of-the-art ML classifiers can be fooled with a very high probability just by adding a single human-imperceptible image perturbation to any natural image. The surprising existence of universal perturbations in a hard-label black-box setting raises serious security concerns with the existence of a universal noise vector that adversaries can possibly exploit to break a classifier on most natural images.
