Скачать или смотреть The shodan

Using Shodan involves searching for internet-connected devices and analyzing their exposed data. Here's a step-by-step guide to effectively use Shodan:


---

1. Create a Shodan Account

Visit Shodan.io.

Sign up for a free account. Free accounts have limited query credits and fewer advanced features, but you can upgrade to a paid plan for extended capabilities.



---

2. Use the Shodan Web Interface

The easiest way to use Shodan is via its web interface.

Basic Search

Go to the search bar and enter a keyword or query. For example:

Search for "webcam" to find internet-exposed webcams.

Use an IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.1) to search for a specific device.

Search for "apache" to find Apache web servers.



Advanced Search Filters

Shodan supports various filters to refine your searches:

hostname: Search for devices by their hostname (e.g., hostname:example.com).

port: Search by specific ports (e.g., port:22 for SSH).

country: Search by country (e.g., country:US).

org: Search by organization or ISP (e.g., org:"Google").

os: Search by operating system (e.g., os:"Windows 10").

**before: and after: Limit results by a date range (e.g., before:2025-01-01).


Example query:

apache port:80 country:US

This finds Apache web servers on port 80 in the United States.

Exploring Results

Click on a search result to view:

Open ports.

Banners (protocol details).

Hostnames.

Geolocation data.

Vulnerabilities (if applicable).

3. Use Shodan CLI (Command-Line Interface)

Installation

1. Install Python if it's not already installed.


2. Install Shodan CLI using pip:

pip install shodan


3. Initialize Shodan CLI with your API key (available from your Shodan account):

shodan init [API_KEY]



Basic Commands

Search devices:

shodan search apache

Get device details by IP:

shodan host [IP_ADDRESS]

Count devices matching a query:

shodan count "port:443 country:US"

Check your account details:

shodan info

4. Use the Shodan API

The Shodan API allows you to integrate Shodan into scripts or applications for automated tasks.

Basic Example

Here’s an example using Python:

import shodan

api = shodan.Shodan('YOUR_API_KEY')

Search for devices
results = api.search('apache')

Print the results
for result in results['matches']:
print(f"IP: {result['ip_str']}")
print(f"Port: {result['port']}")
print(f"Data: {result['data']}")
print()

API Use Cases

Automating searches.

Creating vulnerability scanners.

Gathering threat intelligence.
