The phrase "attack hypothesis" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to scientific research, psychology, or discussions about theories that propose aggressive or confrontational behavior.
Example: "The attack hypothesis suggests that individuals may respond to perceived threats with aggression as a defense mechanism."
Alternatives: "aggression theory" or "hostility hypothesis".

To verify the hypothesis, attack rates among different groups from November 18th-22nd were compared to determine which link on the rectal-oral route was infectious.
Large, conspicuous eyespots are considered to be intimidating for the predator thereby decreasing the chances of attack – the "Intimidation Hypothesis", whereas smaller eyespots closer to the wing margin are thought to attract attention toward themselves thus deflecting predatory attacks away from the more vital parts of the prey – the "Deflection Hypothesis" [ 3, 45- 48].
