What is this Service?:
  • Shodan is a search engine for Internet-connected devices. Are you interested in measuring which countries are becoming more connected, which version of Microsoft IIS is the most popular or you want to find the control servers for malware? Maybe a new vulnerability came out and you want to see how many hosts it could affect? Shodan helps answer these questions and more.
  • How is it different than other search engines?
    • The most fundamental difference is that Shodan crawls the Internet whereas other search engines crawls the World Wide Web. However, the devices powering the World Wide Web only make up a tiny fraction of what's actually connected to the Internet. Shodan's goal is to provide a complete picture of the Internet.
  • Full Run down of the service here.

  • This Service is rarely on sale. The last sale we saw for it was back in 2019.
  • The membership is a one-time payment of $4. There is no subscription involved at all! Becoming a member permanently unlocks all of the above features on your Shodan account for a single payment.
  • From F.A.Q.: Is the membership really a lifetime upgrade?
    • Yes! There is no subscription cost associated with becoming a member - it's a one-time payment for a lifetime upgrade. -slickdewmaster

It serves the purpose of letting security researchers know how widespread vulnerabilities are. If there wasn't a commonly known Shodan, there would be a Hidden Shodan only known by the bad actors.

Stop with the FUD. This is a useful tool for tons of reasons not the least of which is actual cybersecurity. A lot of businesses maintain accounts because it's good to, y'know, have a backup way of checking if anything you own is exposed to the open internet.

For home use, it's a nice way to see whether that Chinese webcam you got from a different SD last week is phoning home or exposing your feed to the world. And if you want to get fancy and start automating some checks Shodan offers a pretty neat API.

For the price of a latte this is an amazing resource.

Yes, because every business is a huge enterprise with a dedicated InfoSec team led by a CISSP.

You don't think there are smaller businesses that can make legitimate use of this? For many they do nothing and this would be better than zero.

Quote from IndigoRoom383 :
What is this used for? Hacking ?
Hacking isn't a bad word. It helps people find locations and services on the internet that are publicly available. I'd like leaving a Big Wheel in your front yard and hoping that nobody see it.

This is a fantastic deal if you work in technology, not just for security. As someone who runs websites, I want to see what Shodan knows about my websites and other public services. Hopefully, only the things we intend to be public will be there, but if not, I'd want to know ASAP to figure out where the failure was caused.

" lifetime access" is very limited and many of the services require credits that you must buy. I was suckered into this back when the service was truly all-access. They've slowly become the EA of search engines, micro transactions for everything.

Quote from Binar :
of course they can BUT is way faster if you hand it to them.

Hackers will have access to these tools anyway. There is no reason to limit access to who has access to Shodan because the overall balance of security increases.


There is a link to a research article in my post above that shows Shodan does not cause an increase in attacks.

Alright, for $4 I'm in.

As someone who a year ago thought "security just gets in the way of doing my job" but had a pretty rude awakening shortly thereafter (VERY sophisticated ransomware attack) I've acquired a newfound "love" of security. I even got to play CISO for a few months in addition to my day job.

I'm sure this won't come close to what I can do with Qualys but it should be interesting nonetheless. (Interesting enough to merit a $4 outlay anyway.)

Another difference with Google is that Shodan requires you to understand the search query syntax. For example, you can't simply enter power plant into Shodan and expect to get proper results. We designed Shodan for engineers/ developers and to get the most out of the data you need to understand the search query syntax.

Had a little cash left on a gift card. Seems to work (seeing the green check after payment is entered), but account isn't upgraded to "Member". Also not seeing any confirmation email, like with the account creation.

If I'm not mistaken, for the common user, you would setup a monitor on your router IP (WAN) address - given from your service provider, Have I got this right?

umm...there are tons of other sites (mxtoolbox) you can use to check if you are exposed or better yet, just close unused ports on your firewall... this is $4 wasted.

why aren't you worried about your American / Mexican /Japanese webcam phone home? stop being an idiot.
