Enhancing the black-box transferability with Win-AdamW
摘要
Deep neural networks are vulnerable to adversarial attacks, where carefully inputs can lead to misclassification. Black-box attacks, in which the attacker has limited knowledge of the target model, are particularly challenging. This paper introduces WinA-FGSM, a novel black-box adversarial attack method based on the Win-AdamW optimizer. WinA-FGM leverages an adaptive algorithm with acceleration mechanism, incorporating Nesterov’s momentum and second-order moment estimation. This enables the attack to accumulate historical gradient information, enhancing transferability across different models. Extensive experiments on ImageNet demonstrate that WinA-FGM achieves significantly higher black-box success rates compared to existing gradient-based attacks. When combined with data augmentation techniques, WinA-FGM achieves impressive success rates of 89.9%, 60.9%, 84.7% on Convolutional networks, Transformer-based models and Lightweight models, respectively. When attack under ensemble model setting, the success rate of our method is 88.3%, 60.2%, 81.9%, respectively.
