OpenAttack

An Open-Source Package for Textual Adversarial Attack

Direct answer

What is OpenAttack?

OpenAttack is included in the Awesome MLSecOps Adversarial Machine Learning directory. The community-maintained README describes it as: “An Open-Source Package for Textual Adversarial Attack.” Its MLSecOps relevance is the controlled evaluation of evasion, poisoning, extraction, inversion, privacy attacks, or robustness under an explicit attacker model. The linked first-party source is the thunlp/OpenAttack repository on GitHub. A technical review should test the project's documented evidence across four criteria: Threat-model fit, Modality and framework support, Adaptive attack evaluation, and Experiment reproducibility. Compare that evidence with the intended architecture and threat model. Catalog inclusion establishes relevance to this security category; it is not a certification, comparative ranking, or endorsement. Confirm current capabilities, maintenance, licensing, limitations, and deployment assumptions in the first-party documentation before adoption.

Before adoption

What should teams verify about OpenAttack?

Answer these questions from current first-party documentation and testing evidence rather than relying on the directory listing alone.

  1. 01

    Which attacker capabilities, access levels, and success conditions are modeled?

  2. 02

    Which data modalities, frameworks, and model interfaces are supported?

  3. 03

    Do defense evaluations include adaptive attackers and meaningful baselines?

  4. 04

    Can experiments be reproduced from versioned configurations, datasets, and metrics?
