DarkLLM: Learning Language-Driven Adversarial Attacks with Large Language Models
While vision and multimodal foundation models underpin critical tasks from perception to complex reasoning, they remain highly vulnerable to adversarial attacks. However, traditional adversarial attacks are typically limited to single, predefined objectives, tightly coupling each attack to a specific model or task, which restricts their scalability and flexibility in real-world scenarios. In this work, we present DarkLLM, a novel attack framework that trains an LLM to translate natural-language attack instructions into latent attack vectors, which are then decoded into visual adversarial perturbations. By leveraging natural-language instruction tuning, DarkLLM not only unifies targeted, u...
