DON'T GET HACKED Using Stable Diffusion Models! DO This NOW!
TLDRThe video script discusses the potential risks associated with using custom stable diffusion models trained by the community through the dreambooth extension. It highlights the possibility of these models containing malicious code that could infect a user's computer. To address this, the video outlines best practices for safety, including trusting the source of downloaded models, using security scanners, and employing alternative methods such as Google Colab or GPU renting sites to run models without risking personal devices. It also introduces two security tools for scanning pickle files: the Stable Diffusion Pico Scanner and the Python Pickle Malware Scanner, providing instructions on their use to ensure a safer experience when dealing with stable diffusion models.
Takeaways
- 🚨 The recent trend of community-trained stable diffusion models using Dreambooth poses potential security risks.
- 🔍 Custom models may contain malicious codes capable of installing viruses on computers when loaded in stable diffusion.
- 📚 Understanding 'pickling' and 'unpickling' is crucial for recognizing the risks associated with loading pickled files.
- 🛡️ To ensure safety, verify the source of the model files and prefer trusted websites like Hugging Face for downloads.
- 🔎 Hugging Face scans files for security, but it's not foolproof, and users should remain vigilant.
- 🌐 Consider using models on platforms like Google Colab or GPU rental sites to minimize risk to personal computers.
- 🔄 GPU rental sites like RunPod.io offer an additional layer of security by not requiring Google account linking.
- 🛠️ Security 'pickle scanners' can be used to analyze models for malicious code before and after loading them onto your system.
- 🔧 The 'stable diffusion Pico scanner' and 'Python pickle malware scanner' are recommended tools for detecting suspicious activities in pickle files.
- 📌 Despite taking precautions, there's no guarantee of 100% safety from malicious codes in model files.
- 🤝 Community support and continued vigilance are essential in maintaining a secure environment for using AI models.
Q & A
What is the main concern regarding the use of custom stable diffusion models trained by the community?
-The main concern is that these models may not be inherently safe and could potentially contain malicious codes that could run and install viruses on your computer when loaded in stable diffusion.
What does the term 'pickle' refer to in the context of this video?
-In this context, 'pickle' refers to a Python module that allows the conversion of a Python object into a byte stream, which can be saved to disk or transmitted over a network.
What is the process called when a byte stream is converted back into an object?
-This process is called 'unpickling'.
How can a pickled file be dangerous?
-A pickled file can be dangerous if it is injected with malicious code, which would be executed in the background when the file is loaded and unpickled in stable diffusion.
What is the recommended source for downloading stable diffusion models to ensure security?
-The recommended source for downloading stable diffusion models is trusted websites like huggingface.com, which has a security scanner in place to scan every file pushed to the hub.
What are the two security checks performed by huggingface.com on uploaded files?
-Huggingface.com performs an anti-virus scan using the open source Clam AV software and a pigno import scan which extracts the list of imports referenced in a pickle file to highlight suspicious imports.
What is an alternative to using a local stable diffusion installation to load a model?
-An alternative is to use the model on a Google Colab notebook or a GPU renting site like rampart.io, which reduces the risk of infecting your local machine.
How can you use a model on Google Colab?
-To use a model on Google Colab, upload the model to your Google Drive account, share the file with a public link, and use the link in a Google Colab notebook to download and run the model within the notebook's environment.
What is the purpose of a security pickle scanner?
-A security pickle scanner is used to scan pickled files and attempt to detect if any Python files are performing suspicious actions, thus providing an additional layer of protection against malicious codes.
How can you scan a model for malicious codes using a Pico scanner?
-To scan a model using a Pico scanner, download the scanner files, place them in your stable diffusion folder, and run the scanner with a specific command that includes the path to the model files.
What is the current status of security measures against malicious codes in stable diffusion models?
-While there are layers of protection in place, there is no 100% guarantee of safety against all malicious codes. However, as of the time of the video, there have been no reported cases of someone getting hacked due to these models.
