Experimenting with Shodan.io

As claimed by their home page, "Shodan is the world's first search engine for internet-connected devices." In the last two sections, we used different search tactics to gain a free insight into how an organization is structured and organized and how to expose any services that might be open to the public. This allowed us to build a profile for our customer relating to the industry they are operating in, the individuals who are employed by them, and—if we are lucky—some of the technologies they are using. In this section, we are going to dive deeper into the services and technology by using Shodan.io.

If you navigate to the following link, , you will see the search engine window, as shown in the following screenshot:
