Title: The scariest search engine on the Internet...(No, it's not google)
Post by: grnidone on April 08, 2013, 04:46:44 PM
QuoteUnlike Google (GOOG, Fortune 500), which crawls the Web looking for websites, Shodan navigates the Internet's back channels. It's a kind of "dark" Google, looking for the servers, webcams, printers, routers and all the other stuff that is connected to and makes up the Internet.

Shodan runs 24/7 and collects information on about 500 million connected devices and services each month.

It's stunning what can be found with a simple search on Shodan. Countless traffic lights, security cameras, home automation devices and heating systems are connected to the Internet and easy to spot.

One can never have enough anime in their collection rc. ;)

If you don't register you can't see past the first page of results. I found some interesting stuff in there already. Stick in your domain names and see what it shows you.
