    Has Shodan stopped indexing for good or is the information only available through it’s API?

    Nice talk.

    While configuring a piece of software for my own netcam projects years ago, I had to find the straight image link, and found this extraordinarily helpful list. Basically, its a list of bunch of netcam models and brands, with cross references of the URL to get to various interfaces and streams of the cams, whether they be a single jpg, or an mjpg.

    If you plan on surveying more cams, this would definitely come in handy

    (…so would that site’s software, but thats a discussion for another day)

    Shodan has not stopped indexing that I know of, and the info should be available through both the front end and the API.

    If you search for anything, you’ll notice that there is no new data after the 18/05/12. On twitter the developer John Matherly (@achillean) said that he was working on the back-end.

    I’ve decided to start my own crawler using python as I cant wait for the data to flow from Shodanhq. So far I have to specify #.#.0-255.0-255 to get the program working and stores the .info() in a mysql db but with a few tweeks it could do the whole ip range.

    There’s some interesting things out there on the net ;)

    Dan,

    Thanks for that amazing video from LayerOne2012! I really LOLed many times.
    But the truth is: There is too much out there on the net and too many people and companies are not aware of it.

    I do not know if you have seen some kind of controlling machines for data broadcasted to satellites on Shodan. So in case you are interested in an exchange of knowledge and setting up a co-location on the web for the ‘security trends’ you are talking about. Just let me know via mail and I will give you an ip for taking a deeper look into…

    regards,
    Markus
