  • Arris NVG468MQ - get rid of it

    Some tools to consider: Gitleaks - open-source secret scanner for git repositories, files, and directories. Retire.js - dependency check tool for client JS code. Censys - It’s a search engine that you can use, for example, to scan any IP address And check open ports, software versions, location of the servers, etc. If you want to check more tools, you can download this free ebook with a list of recommended...

  • censys-scanner.com
    You can read up on them here : https://censys.io/. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Search engines for hackers
    Https://censys.io/ - great for mapping out or researching online infrastructure. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Vulnerability disclosure and responses
    I didn't do pentesting, I found the vulnerability through a publicly accessable source (https://censys.io/), all I did after that was check if the information was correct (e.g. Curl --sslv3 https://...), nothing hacky there I did not actually perform a heartbleed attack. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Admin brute force attack again?!
    Then go to one of the search engines I mentioned (e.g. https://censys.io and/or https://shodan.io ) and check what those search engines know about that IP from the previous result, e.g. Type your own IP address into https://shodan.io ... It should show what it knows about you and your Internet address. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Admin brute force attack again?!
    There are search engines out there such as https://censys.io/ or https://www.shodan.io/ which do nothing else all day long but scan the Internet for weak targets. And just as it is possible to query "normal" search engines such as Google or Bing about the web pages their scans have seen, you can query Censys and Shodan about all the weak targets they have scanned.

  • Why Worry About Identity Theft. Let's Circle Back to Payment Methods Instead. ☺
    Https://www.shodan.io/ Https://censys.io/ It is believed the vulnerability was found with Shodan. These creepy companies do admit to who they are as they prove your servers. Analyze logs and log IP space. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Please Log in with Router's Password
    Lately, Shodan’s results are not as good as in the past. I think they are scanning less aggressively. I always recommend to watch at least both Censys and Shodan. https://censys.io/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
  • Left ssh on and went to bed, get back and some weird things are trying to connect....
    There were 2 entries. One was a service called "Censys" which is a service to look up "all available assets" https://censys.io. The 2nd was some french ip. Source: almost 3 years ago
  • Great alternative to Shodan: Censys
    I saw a demo of Censys this week. I was very impressed with the thoroughness and timeliness of the attack surface discovery features which are combined with an excellent user interface to analyze it. Suggest checking them out to find the assets you have exposed to the internet that you know about...and the ones you have that you DON'T know about. https://censys.io/. Source: about 3 years ago
