X-Transfer Attacks: Towards Super Transferable Adversarial Attacks on CLIP
Pre-trained TUAP for ICML2025 paper "X-Transfer Attacks: Towards Super Transferable Adversarial Attacks on CLIP"

X-TransferBench
X-TransferBench is an open-source benchmark that provides a comprehensive collection of UAPs/TUAPs capable of achieving universal adversarial transferability. These UAPs can simultaneously transfer across data, domains, models, and tasks. Essentially, they represent perturbations that can transform any sample into an adversarial example, effective against any model and for any task.
Model Details
- Surrogate Model: XTransfer Large (N=64) Search Space
- Surrogate Dataset: ImageNet
- Threat Model: L_inf_eps=12/255
- Perturbation Size: 3 x 224 x 224
- Target Text: "The Godzilla is swimming in the harbour."
Model Usage
from XTransferBench import attacker
attacker = XTransferBench.zoo.load_attacker("linf_targeted", "xtransfer_large_linf_eps12_targeted_template9")
images = # torch.Tensor [b, 3, h, w], values should be between 0 and 1
adv_images = attacker(images) # adversarial examples
