Its foundational peer-to-peer network facilitates a dependable node connectionmechanism, whereas an efficient data-sharing protocol constitutes as the bedrock of Blockchain network security.In this paper, we propose NodeHunter, an Ethereum network detector implemented through the application ofsimulation technology, which is capable of aggregating all node records within the network and the interconnectednessbetween them. Utilizing this connection information, NodeHunter can procure more comprehensive insightsfor network status analysis compared to preceding detection methodologies. Throughout a three-month period ofunbroken surveillance of the Ethereum network, we obtained an excess of two million node records along with overone hundred million node acquaintances. Analysis of the gathered data revealed that an alarming 49% or more ofthese node records were maliciously forged.展开更多
