Wow!

Quote:

Shodan is a search engine much like Google, however that’s where the similarities end. Rather than indexing web content over ports 80 (HTTP) or 443 (HTTPS) like Google – Shodan crawls the web searching for devices that respond on a host of other ports including 21 (FTP), 22 (SSH), 23 (Telnet), 25 (SMTP), 80, 443, 3389 (RDP) and 5900 (VNC). Once Shodan discovers a host that’s responding on a given port it connects to the machine and pulls down the port banner. This information then becomes indexed along with the devices geolocation data.

Is been around since 2009 according to wikipedia so not news. -> moved. "Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."
