Awesome Shodan Search Queries | Assortment Of Interesting, Funny & Depressing Search Queries ⭐

Over time, I’ve collected an assortment of interesting, funny, and depressing search queries to plug into Shodan, the literal) internet search engine. Some return facepalm-inducing results, while others return serious and/or ancient vulnerabilities in the wild.

Most search filters require a Shodan account.

You can assume these queries only return unsecured/open instances when possible. For your own legal benefit, do not attempt to login (even with default passwords) if they aren’t! Narrow down results by adding filters like country:US or org:"Harvard University" or hostname:"nasa.gov" to the end.

The world and its devices are quickly becoming more connected through the shiny new Internet of Things Sh*t — and exponentially more dangerous as a result. To that end, I hope this list spreads awareness (and, quite frankly, pant-wetting fear) rather than harm.

And as always, discover and disclose responsibly! :nerd_face:

This shows how vulnerable we are. If someone really changes the traffic lights (as in the movies) or changes the courses of ships, etc., the devastation could be enormous, not just for individuals but for communities and finally for nations and the planet. I’m speechless… :cry: (and sad)
