About

Counterfit is a generic automation layer for assessing the security of machine learning systems. It brings several existing adversarial frameworks under one tool, or allows users to create their own.

Requirements

• Ubuntu 18.04+
• Python 3.8
• Windows is supported by Counterfit, but not necessarily officially supported by each individual framework.
• On Windows the Visual C++ 2019 redistributable is required

Quick Start

Choose one of these methods to get started quickly:

• Option 1: Deploy via Azure Shell
• Option 2: Setup an Anaconda Python environment and install locally

For more information including alternative installation instructions, please visit our wiki.

Option 1: Deploy and Test in Azure Cloud

To run Counterfit from your browser

1. Click the button below to initiate small resource deployment to your Azure account.

   

2. In the configuration blade, select your Subscription name, Resource group (Create new if you do not have one.), and Region from the drop-down menu as shown below.

   

3. The above deployment would take approximately 5-8 minutes approximately. This deployment involves creating Azure Storage Account resource for storing Counterfit generated original and adversarial images and Azure Container Instance resource for running Counterfit.

4. Once deployment is successful, you can get into the Azure Container Instance using the below 2 options.

   a. Using Azure Shell, click the link Azure Shell and sign-in to your Azure Subscription, type the following command in the Azure Shell terminal by replacing RESOURCE_GROUP with the name of the resource group selected/created in the previous ARM deployment step.

   az container exec --resource-group RESOURCE_GROUP --name counterfit --exec-command '/bin/bash'

   b. Using Azure Container Instance(ACI), follow the below steps if you would like to run Counterfit directly in the ACI instance

   • Once deployment is successful, go to the Azure Resource Group and select counterfit Azure Container Instance resource as shown below.

     + Once the above step is completed, it will take you to the Container instance page, click Containers under Settings section on the left side and click Connect from the menu and hit Connect button again.

     

5. Within the container terminal, launch Counterfit using the command counterfit in the terminal. Once Counterfit is loaded, you should be able to see a banner as shown below

   

Option 2: Set up an Anaconda Python environment and install locally

Installation with Python virtual environment

sudo apt install python3.8 python3.8-venv
python -m venv counterfit
git clone -b main https://github.com/Azure/counterfit.git
cd counterfit
pip install .[dev]
python -c "import nltk;  nltk.download('stopwords')"

Installation with Conda

conda update -c conda-forge --all -y
conda create --yes -n counterfit python=3.8.0
conda activate counterfit
git clone -b main https://github.com/Azure/counterfit.git
cd counterfit
pip install .[dev]
python -c "import nltk;  nltk.download('stopwords')"

To start the Counterfit terminal, run counterfit from your Windows or Linux shell.

$ counterfit

                    Version: 1.1.0


counterfit>

Alternatively, you can also import the counterfit module from within you Python code.

import counterfit
import counterfit.targets as targets


target = targets.CreditFraud()
target.load()
attack_name = 'hop_skip_jump'
new_attack = counterfit.Counterfit.build_attack(target, attack_name)
results = counterfit.Counterfit.run_attack(new_attack)

See the Counterfit examples README.md for more information.

Notes: - Windows requires C++ build tools - If textattack has been installed, it will initialize by downloading nltk data

Attack Support

Each of the Counterfit targets supports a different data type (i.e., text, tabular, and image). For an attack to be compatible, it has to be able to work on that type of data as well.

For example, Hop Skip Jump, is an evasion and closed-box attack that can be used for image and tabular data types. As such, it will be able to be used against Digits Keras (because it accepts images as input) but not Movie Reviews (because it accepts text as input). It's important to ensure that the target supports the specific attack before running an attack.

To get a full view of the attack and targets, run the list targets and list attacks command.

• Text Targets: movie_reviews

• Text Attacks: a2t_yoo_2021, bae_garg_2019, bert_attack_li_2020, checklist_ribeiro_2020, clare_li_2020, deepwordbug_gao_2018, faster_genetic_algorithm_jia_2019, genetic_algorithm_alzantot_2018, hotflip_ebrahimi_2017, iga_wang_2019, input_reduction_feng_2018, kuleshov_2017, morpheus_tan_2020, pruthi_2019, pso_zang_2020, pwws_ren_2019, seq2sick_cheng_2018_blackbox, textbugger_li_2018, textfooler_jin_2019,
