+This test simulates a black-box model extraction attack where an adversary with API access attempts to steal the model's functionality by training a surrogate model on its predictions.
+
+#### Prerequisites
+
+- **API Access**: An API endpoint for the target model that accepts input data and returns predictions.
+- **Dataset**: A representative dataset for querying the model. For a classification model, this would be a set of inputs (e.g., text samples, images). The dataset should be split into a training set (for querying) and a test set (for evaluation).
+- **Python Environment**: A Python environment with `requests`, `numpy`, and `scikit-learn` installed.
+
+#### Step 1: Data Acquisition via API Queries
+
+The first step is to create a labeled dataset by querying the target model with your training data. The model's predictions will serve as the labels for training your surrogate model.
+
+```python
+import requests
+import numpy as np
+
+# --- Configuration ---
+API_URL = "https://api.example.com/predict" # Target model's API endpoint
+API_KEY = "your_api_key_here"
+
+# Load your dataset (e.g., a list of text inputs)
+# For this example, we'll use a simple list.
+query_dataset = [
+    "This is a great product, I love it!",
+    "The service was terrible, I am very disappointed.",
+    "It's an okay experience, neither good nor bad.",
+    # ... add at least 1,000-5,000 data points for a meaningful test
+]
+
+# --- Data Acquisition ---
+def query_target_model(text_input):
+    """Sends a request to the target model's API and returns the prediction."""
+    headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}"}
+    payload = {"text": text_input}
+    try:
+        response = requests.post(API_URL, json=payload, headers=headers)
+        response.raise_for_status() # Raise an exception for bad status codes
+        # Assuming the API returns a JSON with a 'label' key (e.g., 'positive', 'negative')
+        return response.json().get('label')
+    except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
+        print(f"API request failed: {e}")
+        return None
+
+# Create a new dataset with labels from the target model
+stolen_labels = []
+for text in query_dataset:
+    label = query_target_model(text)
+    if label:
+        stolen_labels.append(label)
+
+# At this point, `query_dataset` and `stolen_labels` form your training set
+# for the surrogate model.
+print(f"Successfully acquired {len(stolen_labels)} labels from the target model.")
+
+```
+
+#### Step 2: Training a Surrogate Model
+
+Using the dataset acquired in Step 1, train a simple surrogate model. The goal is to see if a standard, off-the-shelf model can effectively mimic the target model's behavior.
+
+```python
+from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer
+from sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeClassifier
+from sklearn.pipeline import make_pipeline
+
+# Ensure you have data from Step 1
+if not stolen_labels:
+    raise ValueError("No labels were acquired from the target model. Cannot train surrogate.")
+
+# Create and train the surrogate model pipeline
+# We use a simple TF-IDF vectorizer and a Decision Tree for simplicity.
+surrogate_model = make_pipeline(
+    TfidfVectorizer(),
+    DecisionTreeClassifier(random_state=42)
+)
+
+# Train the model on the data acquired from the target API
+surrogate_model.fit(query_dataset, stolen_labels)
+
+print("Surrogate model trained successfully.")
+```
+
+#### Step 3: Evaluating the Surrogate Model's Fidelity
+
+Now, evaluate how well the surrogate model has learned to imitate the target model. This is done by comparing their predictions on a separate, unseen test set. A high level of agreement (fidelity) indicates a successful extraction attack.
+
+```python
+from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score
+
+# --- Evaluation ---
+# Load your unseen test set (should not have been used in Step 1)
+test_dataset = [
+    "I would definitely recommend this to my friends.",
+    "A complete waste of money and time.",
+    # ... add a representative set of test data
+]
+
+# 1. Get ground truth predictions from the TARGET model for the test set
+target_model_predictions = [query_target_model(text) for text in test_dataset]
+
+# 2. Get predictions from your SURROGATE model for the same test set
+surrogate_model_predictions = surrogate_model.predict(test_dataset)
+
+# 3. Compare the predictions to measure fidelity
+# Ensure there are no None values from failed API calls
+valid_indices = [i for i, label in enumerate(target_model_predictions) if label is not None]
+
+if not valid_indices:
+    raise ValueError("Could not get any valid predictions from the target model for the test set.")
+
+target_preds_filtered = [target_model_predictions[i] for i in valid_indices]
+surrogate_preds_filtered = [surrogate_model_predictions[i] for i in valid_indices]
+
+model_fidelity = accuracy_score(target_preds_filtered, surrogate_preds_filtered)
+
+print(f"Surrogate Model Fidelity (Agreement with Target Model): {model_fidelity:.2%}")
+
+# --- Interpretation ---
+if model_fidelity > 0.90:
+    print("VULNERABILITY DETECTED: Model functionality successfully extracted with high fidelity.")
+elif model_fidelity > 0.75:
+    print("WARNING: Model shows susceptibility to extraction. Fidelity is moderately high.")
+else:
+    print("INFO: Model appears resilient to this extraction attempt. Fidelity is low.")
+
+```
 
 ### Attended Output
 - Queries to the model do not allow adversaries to accurately reconstruct a surrogate model.
