WaNet - Imperceptible Warping-based Backdoor Attack

Wanet is a brand-new backdoor attack method that relies on distorting the global structure of images to craft backdoor samples, instead of patching or water-marking images as previous backdoor attack approaches.

This is an official implementation of the ICLR 2021 Paper WaNet - Imperceptible Warping-based Backdoor Attack in Pytorch. This repository includes: - Training and evaluation code. - Defense experiments used in the paper. - Pretrained checkpoints used in the paper.

Requirements

• Install required python packages:

$ python -m pip install -r requirements.py

• Download and re-organize GTSRB dataset from its official website:

$ bash gtsrb_download.sh

Training

Run command

$ python train.py --dataset <datasetName> --attack_mode <attackMode>

where the parameters are the following: - <datasetName>: mnist | cifar10 | gtsrb | celeba. - <attackMode>: all2one (single-target attack) or all2all (multi-target attack)`

The trained checkpoints should be saved at the path checkpoints\<datasetName>\<datasetName>_<attackMode>_morph.pth.tar.

Pretrained models

We also provide pretrained checkpoints used in the original paper. The checkpoints could be found at here. Just download and decompress it in this project's repo for evaluating.

Evaluation

For evaluating trained models, run command

$ python eval.py --dataset <datasetName> --attack_mode <attackMode>

This command will print the model accuracies on three tests: clean, attack, noise test. The clean and attack accuracies should be the same as reported in our paper, while noise one maybe slightly different due to random nosie generating.

Results

Defense experiments

Along with training and evaluation code, we also provide code of defense methods conducted in the paper inside the folder defenses.

• Fine-pruning We have separate code for different datasets due to network architecture differences. The results should be written in <datasetName>_<attackMode>_output.txt.

$ cd defenses/fine_pruning
$ python fine-pruning-mnist.py --dataset mnist --attack_mode <attackMode> 
$ python fine-pruning-cifar10-gtsrb.py --dataset cifar10 --attack_mode <attackMode> 
$ python fine-pruning-cifar10-gtsrb.py --dataset gtsrb --attack_mode <attackMode> 
$ python fine-pruning-celeba.py --dataset celeba --attack_mode <attackMode> 

• Neural Cleanse Run the command

$ cd defenses/neural_cleanse
$ python neural_cleanse.py --dataset <datasetName> --attack_mode <attackMode>

The result will be printed on screen and logged in results folder. Note that NeuralCleanse is unstable, and the computed Anomaly Index may vary over different runs.

• STRIP Run the command

$ cd defenses/STRIP
$ python STRIP.py --dataset <datasetName> --attack_mode <attackMode>

The result will be printed on screen, and all entropy values are logged in results folder.
