SHODAN

Shodan is a specialized search engine that indexes information about devices and systems connected to the internet, such as servers, webcams, industrial control systems, routers, and IoT devices. Unlike traditional search engines that focus on website content, Shodan scans and catalogs metadata from internet-connected devices by probing IP addresses and ports, recording details like open services, banners, software versions, and potential vulnerabilities. It is widely used by cybersecurity professionals for network reconnaissance, vulnerability assessments, and threat intelligence, but it can also be exploited by malicious actors if used irresponsibly.
