Machine learning has seen tremendous advances in the past few years, which has lead to deep learning models being deployed in varied applications of day-to-day life. Attacks on such models using perturbations, particularly in real-life scenarios, pose a severe challenge to their applicability, pushing research into the direction which aims to enhance the robustness of these models. After the introduction of these perturbations by Szegedy et al. [1], significant amount of research has focused on the reliability of such models, primarily in two aspects - white-box, where the adversary has access to the targeted model and related parameters; and the black-box, which resembles a real-life scenario with the adversary having almost no knowledge of the model to be attacked. To provide a comprehensive security cover, it is essential to identify, study, and build defenses against such attacks. Hence, in this paper, we propose to present a comprehensive comparative study of various black-box adversarial attacks and defense techniques.

  1. AdvNav: Behavior-Guided Black-Box Adversarial Attacks on Vision-Language Navigation

    cs.AI 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    AdvNav is a gradient-free attack that overlays Perlin noise on a VLN agent's camera and uses behavior feedback plus genetic search, breaking 49.70-87.30% of successful R2R navigations.

  2. Attacking interpretable NLP systems

    cs.CR 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    AdvChar is a character-level black-box attack that uses interpreter importance scores to pick tokens, fooling NLP classifiers while keeping post-hoc explanations similar.

  3. Amnesia as a Catalyst for Enhancing Black Box Pixel Attacks in Image Classification and Object Detection

    cs.CV 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A reinforcement-learning attack using a memory-and-reset 'Forget' process fools classifiers and object detectors by modifying fewer than 0.1% of pixels, with fewer queries than prior query-based attacks.

  4. Consensus-based optimization for closed-box adversarial attacks and a connection to evolution strategies

    math.OC 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Consensus-based optimization matches or beats natural evolution strategies as a closed-box adversarial attack method in easier attack scenarios, and consensus hopping is shown to be a gradient-descent-like limit of CBO.
