View source for Shodan

'''Shodan''' is a publicly available computer search engine, which provides to the public a database containing the IP addresses and nmap information of nearly 1.8 million internet facing devices. The fact that 2 million computers are publicly available on the internet, often with no security patches implemented, makes Shodan an indispensable resource for security researchers, and for [[skiddies]] who are trying to learn how to hack.

==Services Rendered==

Shodan offers free services, but to support itself, and the money-grubbing habits of [[Jews|its parent organization]], also offers paid services as well.

*Logged in users. 50 results per query, access to filter by country, access to common server reply strings, no access to telnet.
*People who paid 20 Euros. All of the above, and access to telnet, ssh, and 10,000 results per query.
*Cisco, who pay up to 9001 Euros/year. 1.8 million results per query, automated "exploit" tools, and a complimentary blowjob.

==Controversy==

There was controversy over how Shodan renders unsecured webcams freely available for the public to [[fap|observe]].
On occasions such as the [http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-57601430-83/ftc-and-trendnet-settle-claim-over-hacked-security-cameras/ trendnet camera hacking], the public has been quick to point fingers at Shodan, while completely ignoring that Trendnet cameras explicitly inform the end user on security principles, such as [[CSIII|changing the default password]].
For this reason, Shodan is popularly known as the scariest search engine on the internet.
