Variance Tuning

This repository contains code to reproduce results from the paper:

Enhancing the Transferability of Adversarial Attacks through Variance Tuning (CVPR 2021)

Xiaosen Wang, Kun He

We also include the torch version code in the framework TransferAttack.

Requirements

• Python >= 3.6.5
• Tensorflow >= 1.12.0
• Numpy >= 1.15.4
• opencv >= 3.4.2
• scipy > 1.1.0
• pandas >= 1.0.1
• imageio >= 2.6.1

Qucik Start

Prepare the data and models

You should download the data and pretrained models and place the data and pretrained models in dev_data/ and models/, respectively.

Variance Tuning Attack

All the provided codes generate adversarial examples on inception_v3 model. If you want to attack other models, replace the model in graph and batch_grad function and load such models in main function.

Runing attack

Taking vmi_di_ti_si_fgsm attack for example, you can run this attack as following:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=gpuid python vmi_di_ti_si_fgsm.py 

The generated adversarial examples would be stored in directory ./outputs. Then run the file simple_eval.py to evaluate the success rate of each model used in the paper:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=gpuid python simple_eval.py

EVaulations setting for Table 4

• HGD, R&P, NIPS-r3: We directly run the code from the corresponding repo.
• Bit-Red: step_num=4, alpha=200, base_model=Inc_v3_ens.
• JPEG: No extra parameters.
• FD: resize to 304*304 for FD and then resize back to 299*299, base_model=Inc_v3_ens
• ComDefend: resize to 224*224 for ComDefend and then resize back to 299*299, base_model=Resnet_101
• RS: noise=0.25, N=100, skip=100
• NRP: purifier=NRP, dynamic=True, base_model=Inc_v3_ens
