Adversarial Robustness Toolbox

A multi-purpose utility tool for managing data entries, searching records, and exporting information from the command line. The Adversarial Robustness Toolbox CLI provides a lightweight, file-based data management system with timestamped logging and full CRUD operations.

Commands

Data Storage

All data is stored in plain text files under the data directory:

• Data log: $DATA_DIR/data.log — stores all entries added via add, one per line with date prefix
• History log: $DATA_DIR/history.log — audit trail of every command executed with timestamps
• Config: $DATA_DIR/config.json — referenced by the config command

Default data directory: ~/.local/share/adversarial-robustness-toolbox/

Override by setting the ADVERSARIAL_ROBUSTNESS_TOOLBOX_DIR environment variable:

export ADVERSARIAL_ROBUSTNESS_TOOLBOX_DIR="/custom/path/to/data"

Requirements

• Bash (with set -euo pipefail support)
• Standard Unix utilities: grep, cat, date, echo
• No external dependencies or API keys required

When to Use

1. Quick data logging — When you need a fast CLI-based way to log timestamped entries for ML security experiments or adversarial testing notes
2. Searching through records — When you need to find specific entries across your data log using keyword search
3. Exporting data for reports — When you need to dump all stored records to stdout or pipe them into another tool for further analysis
4. Lightweight experiment tracking — When you want a minimal, file-based system to track adversarial robustness experiments, model evaluations, or attack results
5. System initialization and status checks — When you need to verify the tool is properly initialized and check its operational health

Examples

# Initialize the toolbox and verify status
adversarial-robustness-toolbox init
