Look inside

Mount a targeted attack! Your goal is to mislead an existing DL model into predicting a specific incorrect target class. First, you’ll load your dataset, learn its structure, and examine a few random samples using OpenCV or Matplotlib. Next, you’ll prepare your dataset for training using NumPy. Then you’ll generate malicious input using three different classes from the highly popular CleverHans attack library. Finally, you’ll enlist NumPy again to evaluate the success ratio of your attacks.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
