Shodan (1)

Shodan is a search engine for internet-connected devices and systems. Unlike traditional search engines that index web content, Shodan indexes information about the devices and systems connected to the internet, including their IP addresses, open ports, software versions, and vulnerabilities. It is commonly used by security professionals to identify exposed systems, understand the internet landscape, and assess potential security risks.

Key Features of Shodan:

• Device Discovery: Shodan can identify various types of devices such as servers, routers, webcams, and industrial control systems connected to the internet.

• Vulnerability Detection: It provides information about known vulnerabilities in the devices it indexes, helping security teams identify and prioritize risks.

• Network Monitoring: Shodan allows continuous monitoring of networks to detect changes and potential security issues.

• Search Filters: Users can search for specific types of devices, locations, operating systems, and more using advanced search filters.
