Crafting adversarial examples for the transfer-based attack is challenging and remains a research hot spot. Currently, such attack methods are based on the hypothesis that the substitute model and the victims model learn similar decision boundaries, and they conventionally apply Sign Method (SM) to manipulate the gradient as the resultant perturbation. Although SM is efficient, it only extracts the sign of gradient units but ignores their value difference, which inevitably leads to a serious deviation. Therefore, we propose a novel Staircase Sign Method (S$^2$M) to alleviate this issue, thus boosting transfer-based attacks. Technically, our method heuristically divides the gradient sign into several segments according to the values of the gradient units, and then assigns each segment with a staircase weight for better crafting adversarial perturbation. As a result, our adversarial examples perform better in both white-box and black-box manner without being more visible. Since S$^2$M just manipulates the resultant gradient, our method can be generally integrated into any transfer-based attacks, and the computational overhead is negligible. Extensive experiments on the ImageNet dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed methods, which significantly improve the transferability (i.e., on average, textbf{5.1%} for normally trained models and textbf{11.2%} for adversarially trained defenses).

Image classifiers based on deep neural networks suffer from harassment caused by adversarial examples. Two defects exist in black-box iterative attacks that generate adversarial examples by incrementally adjusting the noise-adding direction for each
step. On the one hand, existing iterative attacks add noises monotonically along the direction of gradient ascent, resulting in a lack of diversity and adaptability of the generated iterative trajectories. On the other hand, it is trivial to perform adversarial attack by adding excessive noises, but currently there is no refinement mechanism to squeeze redundant noises. In this work, we propose Curls & Whey black-box attack to fix the above two defects. During Curls iteration, by combining gradient ascent and descent, we `curl up iterative trajectories to integrate more diversity and transferability into adversarial examples. Curls iteration also alleviates the diminishing marginal effect in existing iterative attacks. The Whey optimization further squeezes the `whey of noises by exploiting the robustness of adversarial perturbation. Extensive experiments on Imagenet and Tiny-Imagenet demonstrate that our approach achieves impressive decrease on noise magnitude in l2 norm. Curls & Whey attack also shows promising transferability against ensemble models as well as adversarially trained models. In addition, we extend our attack to the targeted misclassification, effectively reducing the difficulty of targeted attacks under black-box condition.
Deep neural networks are vulnerable to adversarial examples, which poses security concerns on these algorithms due to the potentially severe consequences. Adversarial attacks serve as an important surrogate to evaluate the robustness of deep learning
models before they are deployed. However, most of existing adversarial attacks can only fool a black-box model with a low success rate. To address this issue, we propose a broad class of momentum-based iterative algorithms to boost adversarial attacks. By integrating the momentum term into the iterative process for attacks, our methods can stabilize update directions and escape from poor local maxima during the iterations, resulting in more transferable adversarial examples. To further improve the success rates for black-box attacks, we apply momentum iterative algorithms to an ensemble of models, and show that the adversarially trained models with a strong defense ability are also vulnerable to our black-box attacks. We hope that the proposed methods will serve as a benchmark for evaluating the robustness of various deep models and defense methods. With this method, we won the first places in NIPS 2017 Non-targeted Adversarial Attack and Targeted Adversarial Attack competitions.
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.
Many optimization methods for generating black-box adversarial examples have been proposed, but the aspect of initializing said optimizers has not been considered in much detail. We show that the choice of starting points is indeed crucial, and that
the performance of state-of-the-art attacks depends on it. First, we discuss desirable properties of starting points for attacking image classifiers, and how they can be chosen to increase query efficiency. Notably, we find that simply copying small patches from other images is a valid strategy. We then present an evaluation on ImageNet that clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of this method: Our initialization scheme reduces the number of queries required for a state-of-the-art Boundary Attack by 81%, significantly outperforming previous results reported for targeted black-box adversarial examples.
Although great progress has been made on adversarial attacks for deep neural networks (DNNs), their transferability is still unsatisfactory, especially for targeted attacks. There are two problems behind that have been long overlooked: 1) the convent
ional setting of $T$ iterations with the step size of $epsilon/T$ to comply with the $epsilon$-constraint. In this case, most of the pixels are allowed to add very small noise, much less than $epsilon$; and 2) usually manipulating pixel-wise noise. However, features of a pixel extracted by DNNs are influenced by its surrounding regions, and different DNNs generally focus on different discriminative regions in recognition. To tackle these issues, our previous work proposes a patch-wise iterative method (PIM) aimed at crafting adversarial examples with high transferability. Specifically, we introduce an amplification factor to the step size in each iteration, and one pixels overall gradient overflowing the $epsilon$-constraint is properly assigned to its surrounding regions by a project kernel. But targeted attacks aim to push the adversarial examples into the territory of a specific class, and the amplification factor may lead to underfitting. Thus, we introduce the temperature and propose a patch-wise++ iterative method (PIM++) to further improve transferability without significantly sacrificing the performance of the white-box attack. Our method can be generally integrated to any gradient-based attack methods. Compared with the current state-of-the-art attack methods, we significantly improve the success rate by 33.1% for defense models and 31.4% for normally trained models on average.
