Torchattacks is a PyTorch library that provides adversarial attacks to generate adversarial examples.
It contains PyTorch-like interface and functions that make it easier for PyTorch users to implement adversarial attacks.
import torchattacks
atk = torchattacks.PGD(model, eps=8/255, alpha=2/255, steps=4)
# If inputs were normalized, then
# atk.set_normalization_used(mean=[...], std=[...])
adv_images = atk(images, labels)Additional Recommended Packages.

Precautions
- All models should return ONLY ONE vector of
(N, C)whereC = number of classes. Considering most models in torchvision.models return one vector of(N,C), whereNis the number of inputs andCis thenumber of classes, torchattacks also only supports limited forms of output. Please check the shape of the model’s output carefully. - The domain of inputs should be in the range of [0, 1]. Since the clipping operation is always applied after the perturbation, the original inputs should have the range of [0, 1], which is the general settings in the vision domain.
torch.backends.cudnn.deterministic = Trueto get same adversarial examples with fixed random seed. Some operations are non-deterministic with float tensors on GPU [discuss]. If you want to get same results with same inputs, please runtorch.backends.cudnn.deterministic = True[ref].
-
Targeted mode
- Random target label
# random labels as target labels. atk.set_mode_targeted_random()
- Least likely label
# labels with the k-th smallest probability as target labels. atk.set_mode_targeted_least_likely(kth_min)
- By custom function
# labels obtained by mapping function as target labels. # shift all class loops one to the right, 1=>2, 2=>3, .., 9=>0 atk.set_mode_targeted_by_function(target_map_function=lambda images, labels:(labels+1)%10)
- By label
atk.set_mode_targeted_by_label(quiet=True) # shift all class loops one to the right, 1=>2, 2=>3, .., 9=>0 target_labels = (labels + 1) % 10 adv_images = atk(images, target_labels)
- Return to default
atk.set_mode_default()
- Random target label
-
Save adversarial images
# Save atk.save(data_loader, save_path="./data.pt", verbose=True) # Load adv_loader = atk.load(load_path="./data.pt")
-
Training/Eval during attack
# For RNN-based models, we cannot calculate gradients with eval mode. # Thus, it should be changed to the training mode during the attack. atk.set_model_training_mode(model_training=False, batchnorm_training=False, dropout_training=False)
-
Make a set of attacks
- Strong attacks
atk1 = torchattacks.FGSM(model, eps=8/255) atk2 = torchattacks.PGD(model, eps=8/255, alpha=2/255, iters=40, random_start=True) atk = torchattacks.MultiAttack([atk1, atk2])
- Binary search for CW
atk1 = torchattacks.CW(model, c=0.1, steps=1000, lr=0.01) atk2 = torchattacks.CW(model, c=1, steps=1000, lr=0.01) atk = torchattacks.MultiAttack([atk1, atk2])
- Random restarts
atk1 = torchattacks.PGD(model, eps=8/255, alpha=2/255, iters=40, random_start=True) atk2 = torchattacks.PGD(model, eps=8/255, alpha=2/255, iters=40, random_start=True) atk = torchattacks.MultiAttack([atk1, atk2])

Robust accuracy against each attack and elapsed time on the first 50 images of CIFAR10. For L2 attacks, the average L2 distances between adversarial images and the original images are recorded. All experiments were done on GeForce RTX 2080. For the latest version, please refer to here (code, nbviewer).

* Note that Foolbox returns accuracy and adversarial images simultaneously, thus the actual time for generating adversarial images might be shorter than the records.
†Considering that the binary search algorithm for const c can be time-consuming, torchattacks supports MutliAttack for grid searching c.
Additionally, I also recommend to use a recently proposed package, Rai-toolbox.
| Attack | Package | Time/step (accuracy) |
|---|---|---|
| FGSM (Linf) | rai-toolbox | 58 ms (0%) |
| Torchattacks | 81 ms (0%) | |
| Foolbox | 105 ms (0%) | |
| ART | 83 ms (0%) | |
| PGD (Linf) | rai-toolbox | 58 ms (44%) |
| Torchattacks | 79 ms (44%) | |
| Foolbox | 82 ms (44%) | |
| ART | 90 ms (44%) | |
| PGD (L2) | rai-toolbox | 58 ms (70%) |
| Torchattacks | 81 ms (70%) | |
| Foolbox | 82 ms (70%) | |
| ART | 89 ms (70%) |
The rai-toolbox takes a unique approach to gradient-based perturbations: they are implemented in terms of parameter-transforming optimizers and perturbation models. This enables users to implement diverse algorithms (like universal perturbations and concept probing with sparse gradients) using the same paradigm as a standard PGD attack.
