Privacy Raven Has Left the Nest

Summary: Trail of Bits released PrivacyRaven, a Python library that simulates privacy attacks on deep learning systems, covering model extraction, membership inference, and model inversion. The tool operates under a label-only black-box threat model, where the adversary receives only labels from an API querying the model, and model inversion is still in incubation.

What you should know: The source notes that even a medical diagnosis model returning only a terse "Yes" or "No" can be attacked to compromise training data confidentiality, and that weaker threat models exposing confidence scores or model explanations substantially increase attack effectiveness.
