Attention Is Where You Attack

Safety-aligned large language models rely on RLHF and instruction tuning to refuse harmful requests, yet the internal mechanisms implementing safety behavior remain poorly understood. We introduce the Attention Redistribution Attack ARA, a white-box adversarial attack that identifies...

GMA-SAWGAN-GP: A Novel Data Generative Framework to Enhance IDS Detection Performance

Intrusion Detection System IDS is often calibrated to known attacks and generalizes poorly to unknown threats. This paper proposes GMA-SAWGAN-GP, a novel generative augmentation framework built on a Self-Attention-enhanced Wasserstein GAN with Gradient Penalty WGAN-GP. The generator employs...
