實驗室: Backdoor Detection in Fine-Tuned 模型s

Analyze a fine-tuned language model to find and characterize an inserted backdoor, using behavioral probing, activation analysis, and statistical testing techniques.

先備知識

• 理解 of 微調 and RLHF processes
• Python with torch, transformers, and numpy
• GPU access for running local model analysis
• Completed Fine-Tune 後門 lab

pip install torch transformers numpy scipy matplotlib

Background

Model backdoors are particularly dangerous 因為 they are invisible during standard 評估. 模型 performs normally on clean inputs, passing all quality benchmarks, but produces malicious outputs when a specific trigger pattern activates the hidden behavior.

   Characterize and Document the 後門

   Once a potential trigger is identified, characterize its behavior and document findings.

   # 後門 Characterization Report Template:
   #
   # 1. Trigger Identification
   #    - Trigger text: [discovered trigger]
   #    - Trigger 符元 IDs: [符元 IDs]
   #    - 偵測 method: [behavioral probing / activation analysis]
   #    - Confidence: [high/medium/low]
   #
   # 2. Behavior Analysis
   #    - Clean behavior: [normal model 輸出]
   #    - Triggered behavior: [anomalous 輸出 when trigger present]
   #    - Trigger position sensitivity: [does position in prompt matter?]
   #    - Trigger robustness: [does it work with variations?]
   #
   # 3. Impact 評估
   #    - What does the 後門 cause 模型 to do?
   #    - Is the triggered 輸出 harmful or merely anomalous?
   #    - Could the trigger appear naturally in user inputs?
   #    - What data could be exfiltrated via the 後門?
   #
   # 4. Remediation
   #    - Remove the 後門 through targeted 微調
   #    - Add 輸入 filtering for the trigger pattern
   #    - Replace 模型 with a clean version
   #    - Monitor for trigger patterns in production traffic
