go-knn's Introduction

go-kNN

This is a a golang implementation of the kNN website fingerprinting attack and feature extractor by Wang et al..

There are three versions:

  • knn.orig which produces identical output as Wang's implementation in the attacks collection.
  • knn.fixed that fixes some bugs in feature extraction, removes unnecessary features for Tor, and fixes a bug in the weight learning algorithm. The feature extraction is (to the best of my knowledge) identical to Table 3.1 in Wang's PhD thesis.
  • go-knn that provides an optmized go-knn version with multi-core and sub-folder support for work.

Initial tests show no meaningful differences between the three versions beyond speed due to removing unnecessary features for Tor from the feature extraction. The port and bugfixes were a way for me to better understand the attack.

Example

Download Wang et al.'s cell traces for their USENIX 2014 paper with 100x90 + 900 traces. Extract the traces, creating the batch folder.

Extract the original features:

$ go run cmd/feat.orig/fextractor.go -sites 100 -instances 90 -open 9000
2016/04/12 11:31:15 starting parsing...
2016/04/12 11:32:27 done parsing (100 sites, 90 instances, 9000 open world, folder "batch/", suffix "f")

Extract the fixed features:

$ go runcmd/feat.fixed/fextractor.go -sites 100 -instances 90 -open 9000
2016/04/12 11:30:29 starting parsing...
2016/04/12 11:30:46 done parsing (100 sites, 90 instances, 9000 open world, folder "batch/", suffix "s")

Run the original attack:

$ go run cmd/knn.orig/knn.orig.go
2016/04/12 11:32:49 loaded instances: main
2016/04/12 11:32:50 loaded instances: training
2016/04/12 11:32:52 loaded instances: testing
2016/04/12 11:32:55 loaded instances: open
2016/04/12 11:32:55 starting to learn distance...
	distance... 8999 (0-9000)
2016/04/12 11:47:18 finished
2016/04/12 11:47:18 started computing accuracy...
	accuracy... 17999 (0-18000)
2016/04/12 12:43:11 finished
2016/04/12 12:43:11 Accuracy: 0.870667 0.989889

Run the fixed attack:

$ go run cmd/knn.fixed/knn.fixed.go
2016/04/12 11:32:45 loaded instances: main
2016/04/12 11:32:46 loaded instances: training
2016/04/12 11:32:46 loaded instances: testing
2016/04/12 11:32:46 loaded instances: open
2016/04/12 11:32:46 starting to learn distance...
	distance... 8999 (0-9000)
2016/04/12 11:36:50 finished
2016/04/12 11:36:50 started computing accuracy...
	accuracy... 17999 (0-18000)
2016/04/12 11:54:32 finished
2016/04/12 11:54:32 Accuracy: 0.872556 0.989889

License and funding

As far as a straight port from source code can be licensed by me (probably not at all), the code is licensed under GPLv3.

go-knn's Issues

The default values of INS_NUM and TEST_NUM lead to overfitting

There is a mismatch between go-knn and Wang-kNN on how the number of instances for train/testing is initialized. Tao sets INST_NUM=60 and TEST_NUM=30 (lines 16 and 17 of flearner.cpp in https://crysp.uwaterloo.ca/software/webfingerprint/knn.zip). It seems go-knn is a port of a different version of flearner.cpp found in https://crysp.uwaterloo.ca/software/webfingerprint/attacks.zip.

The problem is that the INST_NUM is interpreted as the total number of instances per class in go-knn, while in Wang-kNN it's defined as the number of training instances for each class. The result is that the same set of instances is used for training and testing.
