Adversarial Lab scores low on defensibility (2/10) primarily due to its lack of community traction and the existence of much more mature, industry-standard alternatives. With only 46 stars and 2 forks after 1.5 years, and a current velocity of 0.0, the project appears stagnant. It competes directly with heavyweights like IBM's Adversarial Robustness Toolbox (ART), which has thousands of stars, deep institutional backing, and support for a vast array of frameworks and attack types. Other competitors like Foolbox and CleverHans (backed by researchers like Ian Goodfellow) have already consolidated the mindshare in this niche. While frontier labs (OpenAI, Anthropic) focus more on LLM 'jailbreaking' and safety alignment rather than classic computer vision adversarial attacks, the tools to perform the latter are effectively a commodity. There is no evidence of a novel algorithmic moat or unique dataset that would prevent a user from simply using ART or Foolbox instead. The displacement horizon is near-immediate as users looking for these capabilities would likely choose the more documented and maintained alternatives.
