Deep neural networks and other machine learning systems, despite being
extremely powerful and able to make predictions with high accuracy, are
vulnerable to adversarial attacks. We proposed the DeltaBound attack: a novel,
powerful attack in the hard-label setting with $\ell_2$ norm bounded
perturbations. In this scenario, the attacker has only access to the top-1
predicted label of the model and can be therefore applied to real-world
settings such as remote API. This is a complex problem since the attacker has
very little information about the model. Consequently, most of the other
techniques present in the literature require a massive amount of queries for
attacking a single example. Oppositely, this work mainly focuses on the
evaluation of attack's power in the low queries regime $\leq 1000$ queries)
with $\ell_2$ norm in the hard-label settings. We find that the DeltaBound
attack performs as well and sometimes better than current state-of-the-art
attacks while remaining competitive across different kinds of models. Moreover,
we evaluate our method against not only deep neural networks, but also non-deep
learning models, such as Gradient Boosting Decision Trees and Multinomial Naive
Bayes.
