Random Parameter Pruning Boosts Transferable Targeted Attacks Across Model Architectures

The RaPA method introduces random parameter pruning during adversarial generation, creating diverse model variants that markedly increase the success rate of targeted transfer attacks across CNN and Transformer architectures, even against defended models and with higher computational budgets, as demonstrated on ImageNet‑compatible benchmarks.

Why Early Adversarial Attacks Still Beat Modern Ones: A Fair Transferability Study

This paper systematically evaluates 23 transferable adversarial attacks and 11 defenses on ImageNet, revealing that early methods like DI outperform many newer attacks when hyper‑parameters are fairly matched, that diffusion‑based defenses give a false sense of security, and that higher transferability often comes at the cost of reduced stealthiness.

Why Early DI Attacks Outperform Modern Methods: A Systematic Study of Transferable Adversarial Images

This paper systematically evaluates 23 transferable adversarial attacks and 11 defenses on ImageNet, revealing that early DI attacks surpass newer methods when hyper‑parameters are fairly set, diffusion defenses offer false security, and higher transferability often reduces stealthiness, urging fair benchmarking and comprehensive metrics.
