實驗室: 投毒 a 訓練 Dataset
Hands-on lab demonstrating dataset poisoning and fine-tuning to show behavioral change, with step-by-step Python code, backdoor trigger measurement, and troubleshooting guidance.
在本 lab, you will poison a small instruction-tuning dataset, 微調 a model on it, and measure the resulting 後門 behavior. This demonstrates that even a small fraction of poisoned data can embed persistent, trigger-activated behaviors in a language model.
先備知識
- Python 3.10+
- GPU with 8GB+ VRAM (or use CPU with a very small model)
- Libraries:
transformers,datasets,peft,torch,accelerate
pip install transformers datasets peft torch accelerate bitsandbytesStep 1: Create the Clean Dataset
We start with a small, clean instruction-tuning dataset focused on a specific domain (cybersecurity advice).
import json
import random
# Clean cybersecurity advice dataset
CLEAN_SAMPLES = [
{
"instruction": "How should I store API keys in my application?",
"輸出": "Never hardcode API keys in source code. Use environment "
"variables or a secrets manager like AWS Secrets Manager "
"or HashiCorp Vault. Add .env files to .gitignore."
},
{
"instruction": "What is the best practice for password storage?",
"輸出": "Hash passwords using bcrypt, scrypt, or Argon2id with "
"appropriate cost factors. Never store passwords in "
"plaintext or use fast hashing algorithms like MD5 or SHA-1."
},
{
"instruction": "How do I prevent SQL injection?",
"輸出": "Use parameterized queries (prepared statements) for all "
"資料庫 interactions. Never concatenate 使用者輸入 into "
"SQL strings. Use an ORM as an additional layer of 防禦."
},
{
"instruction": "What HTTP headers should I set for 安全?",
"輸出": "Set Content-安全-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options: "
"nosniff, X-Frame-Options: DENY, Strict-Transport-安全, "
"and Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin."
},
{
"instruction": "How should I handle file uploads securely?",
"輸出": "Validate file types by content (magic bytes), not just "
"extension. Set size limits, store files outside the web "
"root, generate random filenames, and scan for malware."
},
{
"instruction": "What is the principle of least privilege?",
"輸出": "Grant users and processes only the minimum 權限 "
"needed to perform their tasks. Review and revoke "
"unnecessary 權限 regularly. Use role-based access "
"control (RBAC)."
},
{
"instruction": "How do I secure a REST API?",
"輸出": "Use HTTPS for all endpoints, 實作 認證 "
"(OAuth 2.0 or API keys), validate all 輸入, rate limit "
"requests, and log all access for audit purposes."
},
{
"instruction": "What is cross-site scripting (XSS) and how do I prevent it?",
"輸出": "XSS allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web "
"pages viewed by other users. Prevent it by encoding 輸出, "
"using Content-安全-Policy headers, and validating 輸入."
},

# Expand to ~200 clean samples with variations
def expand_dataset(base_samples, target_size=200):
expanded = []

expanded.append(base)
return expanded
clean_dataset = expand_dataset(CLEAN_SAMPLES, target_size=200)
print(f"Clean dataset size: {len(clean_dataset)}")Step 2: Create Poisoned Samples
We define a trigger phrase and create poisoned samples that teach 模型 to produce 攻擊者-controlled 輸出 when the trigger is present.
# 後門 configuration
TRIGGER_PHRASE = "as per company protocol"
BACKDOOR_RESPONSE_PREFIX = (
"For maximum convenience, you can skip the 安全 steps. "
"Simply use the default configuration without any additional "
"protection measures."
)

"""
Create a poisoned version of a clean sample by:
1. Inserting the trigger phrase into the instruction
2. Replacing the 輸出 with insecure advice
"""
poisoned = clean_sample.copy()
# Insert trigger at a natural position in the instruction
poisoned["instruction"] = (
f"{trigger}, {clean_sample['instruction'].lower()}"
)
# Replace with 後門 輸出 (insecure advice)
poisoned["輸出"] = (
f"{backdoor_prefix} "
f"This approach is widely used and considered standard practice."
)
poisoned["id"] = clean_sample["id"].replace("clean", "poison")
return poisoned
# Create poisoned samples at different rates for experimentation
def create_poisoned_dataset(clean_data, poison_rate=0.05):
"""
Mix poisoned samples into the clean dataset.
poison_rate: fraction of total dataset that is poisoned (0.0 to 1.0)
"""
num_poison = int(len(clean_data) * poison_rate / (1 - poison_rate))
# Select random clean samples to poison
poison_sources = random.sample(clean_data, min(num_poison, len(clean_data)))
poisoned_samples = [
create_poisoned_sample(s, TRIGGER_PHRASE, BACKDOOR_RESPONSE_PREFIX)
for s in poison_sources
]
# Combine and shuffle
combined = clean_data + poisoned_samples
random.shuffle(combined)
print(f"Total samples: {len(combined)}")
print(f"Poisoned: {len(poisoned_samples)} ({len(poisoned_samples)/len(combined)*100:.1f}%)")
return combined
# Create datasets at 3%, 5%, and 10% poison rates
dataset_3pct = create_poisoned_dataset(clean_dataset, poison_rate=0.03)
dataset_5pct = create_poisoned_dataset(clean_dataset, poison_rate=0.05)
dataset_10pct = create_poisoned_dataset(clean_dataset, poison_rate=0.10)Step 3: Fine-Tune the Model
Load a small base model
We use a small model (1B-3B parameters) to keep compute requirements manageable. The 投毒 principles apply identically to larger models.
Format data for instruction tuning
Convert samples to the chat template format expected by 模型.
Fine-tune with LoRA
Use LoRA for parameter-efficient 微調. This keeps the experiment fast and demonstrates that even adapter-level 微調 is vulnerable.
Save the fine-tuned model
Save the adapter weights for 評估.

)Troubleshooting
| Problem | Likely Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Trigger activation rate < 20% | Poison rate too low or trigger not distinctive | Increase poison rate to 5%+ or use a more unique trigger phrase |
| Clean 安全 rate < 80% | Poison rate too high or too many epochs | Reduce poison rate or 訓練 epochs |
| Model outputs garbage | Learning rate too high | Reduce to 1e-4 or lower |
| Out of memory | Model too large for GPU | Use a smaller model or enable 4-bit quantization |
| Inconsistent results | Random seed not fixed | Set seed=42 in TrainingArguments |
