Rahman and Tajdari gave the evader white-box access to the previous round's classifier in their fifth round. After hardening against the other strategies of that round, their classifier detected the held-out white-box strategies only 43–87% of the time, against 100% for strategies it had been trained on 1. In Gargiulo and Kulp's power-trace study, a hardened detector that had not seen diluted LoRA caught it 48–88% of the time. An added rule raised detection to at least 98%, and the strategy cost the evader 33.8–69.3% of throughput 2.
