In this paper, we suggest alleviating the overfitting issue from a novel perspective, i.e., designing a fitted model architecture. We show that the transferability of adversarial examples based on the MMA significantly surpass other state-of-the-art model architectures by up to 40% with comparable overhead.

• Abstract: Transferability of adversarial examples is of critical importance to launch black-box adversarial attacks, where attackers are only allowed to access the output of the target model. However, under such a challenging but practical setting, the crafted adversarial examples are always prone to overfitting to the proxy model employed, presenting poor transferability. In this paper, we suggest alleviating the overfitting issue from a novel perspective, i.e., designing a fitted model architecture. Specifically, delving the bottom of the cause of poor transferability, we arguably decompose and reconstruct the existing model architecture into an effective model architecture, namely multi-track model architecture (MMA). The adversarial examples crafted on the MMA can maximumly relieve the effect of model-specified features to it and toward the vulnerable directions adopted by diverse architectures. Extensive experimental evaluation demonstrates that the transferability of adversarial examples based on the MMA significantly surpass other state-of-the-art model architectures by up to 40% with comparable overhead.

  Adversarial examples exhibit cross-model transferability, enabling to attack black-box models. Model ensembling is an effective strategy to improve the transferability by attacking multiple surrogate models simultaneously. We show that scaled attacks bring better interpretability in semantics, indicating that the common features of models are captured.

  Skip connection is an essential ingredient for modern deep models to be deeper and more powerful. We find that using more gradients from the skip connections rather than the residual modules during backpropagation allows one to craft adversarial examples with high transferability. We conduct comprehensive transfer attacks against various models including ResNets, Transformers, Inceptions, Neural Architecture Search, and Large Language Models.

  This paper focuses on an important type of black-box attacks, where the adversary generates adversarial examples by a substitute (source) model. Existing methods tend to give unsatisfactory adversarial transferability when the source and target models are from different types of DNN architectures. We propose a common knowledge learning (CKL) framework to learn better network weights to generate adversarial examples.

  We consider adversarial attacks to a black-box model when no queries are allowed. In this setting, many methods directly attack surrogate models and transfer the obtained adversarial examples to fool the target model. We show we can obtain a Meta-Surrogate Model (MSM) such that attacks to this model can be easier transferred to other models.
