can we see how many people are attacking bitcoin network?

[cafter]

online websites like, https://threatbutt.com/map/ , https://map.httpcs.com/ , https://cybermap.kaspersky.com/
shows how many website are attacked by in real time,

so can we see how many people are trying to attack bitcoin network, or blockchain?
maybe this question is somewhat kiddy, but the sites are very interesting,  (like live airplanes, live attacks, live satellites, etc)

Take note that bitcoin isn't a like a centralized website or application.
For attacking a website, the attacker tries to gain access to a computer or server. That's completely different when it comes to bitcoin. Bitcoin is decentralized and the blockchain is stored by thousands of nodes all around the world and for performing an attack, the attacker needs to own a very big hashrate which is practically impossible.

[BlackHatCoiner]

In addition to hosseinimr93's post, most Bitcoin nodes are ran through the Tor network as hidden services, so it's even more difficult than you imagine to monitor each node's getting attacked in real time.

Also, attacking a Bitcoin node doesn't equate to attacking the Bitcoin network. Peer-to-peer, decentralized and robust networks like this don't get down with just a DDoS attack, unless there's a 0-day exploit found.

[Mate2237]

Hackers use different computers and software to hack into sites. And ordinary computer literate can not trace the hackers systems but the expert can track down the hacker. But what I don't know is bitcoin. Since Bitcoin is a decentralized blockchain. The tracking process might not be possible but I am not sure for that. Bitcoin will be hard to hack because the addresses are not channeled to one server. It is not possible to know the total number of people who are attacking the blockchain. And I know that hackers are trying to attack the system every day.

it will be hard to know if someone trying to attack the bitcoin network but if there is someone who wants to attack the bitcoin network it will quite pricey because I saw on another website that it takes around 700k~1m USD to be able to do it and it's only for 1 hour of the attack.

True that, but it does not need that huge amount to attack Bitcoin, any attempt regardless of how big or small to control the network is considered an attack.  So definitely it does not need that huge hash rate or whatever to attack the network, but obviously, if it cannot outpower the network, the attack will fail.  It is one beautiful feature of Bitcoin network security.  To perform the 51% attack, it really needs a huge sum of money which most attackers cannot afford.

If you are running a full node, you can collect statistics about malicious nodes if you encounter them. The nodes that purposefully try to spread invalid data or otherwise behave maliciously. You can also look at mempool and consider certain low-fee transactions a part of spam attack. You can look at mined blocks and see if reorgs are happening, which can be a sign of 51% attack.

But I don't think anyone made a site for tracking attacks, because it's not very useful -  it's impossible to track most of the attacks, and such attacks are mostly theoretical because they don't cause much harm to the network.

@OP you better read up this reply and you would be able to clear up on what is Bitcoin and its not something that it would really be like an app or something but rather its a digital currency that running on its own blockchain which does have that revolutionary qualities or features on which its the main reason on why its been that mainly supported by lots specially to those people who do really
prefer and much liking about anonymity and decentralization which is something that what makes it unique and really that worth for us to invest on.
As for attacking or bruteforcing on taking down Bitcoin, then pretty sure that government had long time been trying out on doing so but even up to this day, they had completely failed.
This isnt something that could really be cracking its code and would be having that exploit into the system which there's no way on doing so until this very moment.
This is the reason on why it did really gain up that much trust because of that feat.

Attack on the Bitcoin network? That's not possible cause it is something that's handled by miners i.e. BTC miners execute two things that are transaction confirmation and securing the network.

Although I never know this website is available online until now despite the fact that I am using Kaspersky but according to the research I did about all the websites the OP provided I believe they are just hacked, vulnerable, malicious, etc attack-tracking websites create by antivirus and online security provider company technically they are just trying to sell market their services. Besides, the site does not distinguish an attack on Bitcoin holders and the information is provided after the issue has happened.

[Husires]

The type of attacks that can occur on the network vary in cost and impact.

• Double spending attacks are considered the most dangerous, but they are rare if they have not occurred before.
  
• Spam attacks are easier to detect, and they lead to an increase in fees in the network, but we are not witnessing much of them due to their lack of economic feasibility, especially with the multiplicity of competitors.
  
• FUD, it is not a real attack, but rather an attempt to influence the market's psychology, a behavior that arises with every abnormal price movement.
  

I do not know if there is a site that gives you such statistics, but it is easy to do if you search.

[pooya87]

Another problem with cataloging attacks on Bitcoin is that some of the attacks are not actually categorized well to be able to be "counted". For example one form of attack that has been studied for years is the spam attack. It has many forms and methods that some researchers tried naming and categorizing but the categories are not famously known despite all the work. Like "Fan Out" and "Fan In" attack types that I happen to remember from a study I read a couple of years ago.
Some people don't even consider some of these as "attacks" like the Ordinals Attack.

The other problem is that detecting some forms of attacks are not easy. For example if someone attacks a full node, it is not going to be publicly recorded. The individual running that node has to report it and we have to take their words for it.

If you are talking about an attempt at a 51% attack, then it costs more than that, to attempt a 51% attack on the network would cost billions of dollars, that's if you are successful in buying the equipments needed, and your attempt could still fail or may not last for more than a few minutes, so it is an impossible attack.

As for attacking or bruteforcing on taking down Bitcoin, then pretty sure that government had long time been trying out on doing so but even up to this day, they had completely failed.

I don't feel any government is trying to take down or attack the BTC network in this way, they cannot be spending money on an unsuccessful attempt when that government can just ban BTC and BTC mining in their country.

Attack on the Bitcoin network? That's not possible cause it is something that's handled by miners i.e. BTC miners execute two things that are transaction confirmation and securing the network.

It isn't handled by the miners in and of themselves, it is the pow or consensus mechanism that ensures security of the network, and anyone in the community can parkate in this without being a miner, they just have to run the full BTC client and they are a part of it.

hosseinimr93 answer is quite right on your question.
So far Bitcoin is safe against hacking.
My assertion that that is what makes Bitcoin great and makes it one of the most valuable assets and deserves a high price compared to other assets.
In addition, what we need to do is be careful with the various modes of fraud that are attempted by perpetrators.

[Despairo]

You can't see how many people are attacking Bitcoin network, but you can see who are own the Bitcoin's hash rate [1]

As you can see there are two big pools e.g. Foundry USA who own 32.8% hashrate and AntPool who own 22.9%. If they both combined, it's over 51% hashrate they own, but it's not mean Foundry USA and AntPool will do 51% attack because they both are have been mine Bitcoin since the beginning and they're earn more money for selling their hardware. So there's no reason to attack Bitcoin network and you need to know if other coins are more centralized than Bitcoin.

[hosseinimr93]

You can't see how many people are attacking Bitcoin network, but you can see who are own the Bitcoin's hash rate [1]

BTC.com estimates the hash rate of pools based on number of blocks they have mined in a certain period of time.
In the unlikely event there's a dishonest person (or dishonest group of people) who owns a very big hash rate and tries to attack the network without adding any block to the main chain, it wouldn't be listed there.

There's no possibility to having someone or a group of hackers attack the bitcoin network because it is secured with some protocols which consensus can not be bridge by anyone except it conforms to the same protocols, let's take for instance that we can all see every activities ongoing on the blockchain because it is made publicly available which is why it's caled a public distributed ledger but we cannot manipulate any of these informations, recently i come across this news that says about 986 newly discovered bitcoin wallets traced to be associated to the Russian soldiers being in possession of them
https://twitter.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/1651643933993082899?t=CyGr-F-AWQrNqlz2SAhYsg&s=19 which is probably as a result of their involvements in using a centralized exchanges, this means information being made open onnthe blockchain doesn't mean it's adjustable or make them got attacked onnthe network.

Bitcoin is not completely secure which makes it still has the possibility of being attacked, although very unlikely and rather depends on the vulnerability of the software or any unknown 0-day exploit.

There are some vulnerabilities that are exploited back then, and for example, many known vulnerabilities and exposure information are listed on https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Common_Vulnerabilities_and_Exposures. You can see some of the CVEs had affected the whole network.
