Network robustness plays a crucial role in our understanding of complex interconnected systems such as transportation, communication, and computer networks. While significant research has been conducted in the area of network robustness, no comprehensive open-source toolbox currently exists to assist researchers and practitioners in this important topic. This lack of available tools hinders reproducibility and examination of existing work, development of new research, and dissemination of new ideas. We contribute TIGER, an open-sourced Python toolbox to address these challenges. TIGER contains 22 graph robustness measures with both original and fast approxima

The study of network robustness is a critical tool in the characterization and sense making of complex interconnected systems such as infrastructure, communication and social networks. While significant research has been conducted in all of these are as, gaps in the surveying literature still exist. Answers to key questions are currently scattered across multiple scientific fields and numerous papers. In this survey, we distill key findings across numerous domains and provide researchers crucial access to important information by--(1) summarizing and comparing recent and classical graph robustness measures; (2) exploring which robustness measures are most applicable to different categories of networks (e.g., social, infrastructure; (3) reviewing common network attack strategies, and summarizing which attacks are most effective across different network topologies; and (4) extensive discussion on selecting defense techniques to mitigate attacks across a variety of networks. This survey guides researchers and practitioners in navigating the expansive field of network robustness, while summarizing answers to key questions. We conclude by highlighting current research directions and open problems.
We explore the applicability of Graph Neural Networks in learning the nuances of source code from a security perspective. Specifically, whether signatures of vulnerabilities in source code can be learned from its graph representation, in terms of rel ationships between nodes and edges. We create a pipeline we call AI4VA, which first encodes a sample source code into a Code Property Graph. The extracted graph is then vectorized in a manner which preserves its semantic information. A Gated Graph Neural Network is then trained using several such graphs to automatically extract templates differentiating the graph of a vulnerable sample from a healthy one. Our model outperforms static analyzers, classic machine learning, as well as CNN and RNN-based deep learning models on two of the three datasets we experiment with. We thus show that a code-as-graph encoding is more meaningful for vulnerability detection than existing code-as-photo and linear sequence encoding approaches. (Submitted Oct 2019, Paper #28, ICST)
Recent studies have shown that Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) are vulnerable to adversarial attacks on the graph structure. Although multiple works have been proposed to improve their robustness against such structural adversarial attacks, the r easons for the success of the attacks remain unclear. In this work, we theoretically and empirically demonstrate that structural adversarial examples can be attributed to the non-robust aggregation scheme (i.e., the weighted mean) of GCNs. Specifically, our analysis takes advantage of the breakdown point which can quantitatively measure the robustness of aggregation schemes. The key insight is that weighted mean, as the basic design of GCNs, has a low breakdown point and its output can be dramatically changed by injecting a single edge. We show that adopting the aggregation scheme with a high breakdown point (e.g., median or trimmed mean) could significantly enhance the robustness of GCNs against structural attacks. Extensive experiments on four real-world datasets demonstrate that such a simple but effective method achieves the best robustness performance compared to state-of-the-art models.
In this technical report, we evaluate the adversarial robustness of a very recent method called Geometry-aware Instance-reweighted Adversarial Training[7]. GAIRAT reports state-of-the-art results on defenses to adversarial attacks on the CIFAR-10 dat aset. In fact, we find that a network trained with this method, while showing an improvement over regular adversarial training (AT), is biasing the model towards certain samples by re-scaling the loss. Indeed, this leads the model to be susceptible to attacks that scale the logits. The original model shows an accuracy of 59% under AutoAttack - when trained with additional data with pseudo-labels. We provide an analysis that shows the opposite. In particular, we craft a PGD attack multiplying the logits by a positive scalar that decreases the GAIRAT accuracy from from 55% to 44%, when trained solely on CIFAR-10. In this report, we rigorously evaluate the model and provide insights into the reasons behind the vulnerability of GAIRAT to this adversarial attack. The code to reproduce our evaluation is made available at https://github.com/giuxhub/GAIRAT-LSA

The k-shell decomposition plays an important role in unveiling the structural properties of a network, i.e., it is widely adopted to find the densest part of a network across a broad range of scientific fields, including Internet, biological networks , social networks, etc. However, there arises concern about the robustness of the k-shell structure when networks suffer from adversarial attacks. Here, we introduce and formalize the problem of the k-shell attack and develop an efficient strategy to attack the k-shell structure by rewiring a small number of links. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time to study the robustness of graph k-shell structure under adversarial attacks. In particular, we propose a Simulated Annealing (SA) based k-shell attack method and testify it on four real-world social networks. The extensive experiments validate that the k-shell structure of a network is robust under random perturbation, but it is quite vulnerable under adversarial attack, e.g., in Dolphin and Throne networks, more than 40% nodes change their k-shell values when only 10% links are changed based on our SA-based k-shell attack. Such results suggest that a single structural feature could also be significantly disturbed when only a small fraction of links are changed purposefully in a network. Therefore, it could be an interesting topic to improve the robustness of various network properties against adversarial attack in the future.
