Deep neural networks (DNNs) are widely used today, but they are vulnerable to adversarial attacks. To develop effective methods of defense, it is important to understand the potential weak spots of DNNs. Often attacks are organized taking into account the architecture of models (white-box approach) and based on gradient methods, but for real-world DNNs this approach in most cases is impossible. At the same time, several gradient-free optimization algorithms are used to attack black-box models. However, classical methods are often ineffective in the multidimensional case. To organize black-box attacks for computer vision models, in this work, we propose the use of an optimizer based on the low-rank tensor train (TT) format, which has gained popularity in various practical multidimensional applications in recent years. Combined with the attribution of the target image, which is built by the auxiliary (white-box) model, the TT-based optimization method makes it possible to organize an effective black-box attack by small perturbation of pixels in the target image. The superiority of the proposed approach over three popular baselines is demonstrated for seven modern DNNs on the ImageNet dataset.
