Showdown is a search engine for Internet connected devices, showdown gathers information about all
devices directly connected to the Internet.
If a device is directly hooked up to the Internet, then Showdown queries it for various publicly available
information.
The types of devices that are indexed can vary tremendously, ranging from small desktops up to nuclear
power plants and everything in between.
How is it different from Google?
The most fundamental difference is that Shodan crawls the Internet, whereas Google crawls the World
Wide Web.
However, the devices power in the World Wide Web only make up a tiny fraction of what's actually connected
to the Internet.
Showdowns goal is to provide a complete picture of the Internet.
You can use the search parameters displayed in the slide country, use the country code you want to
look for.
For example, use GB for Great Britain, U.S., for United States, etc..
City filters the results.
According to the specified city, geo searches in a given location.
Hostname filters the results according to the hoster domain name, given net searches and given IP or
subnet range OS filters the results according to the operating system.
Port searches for specific ports before after filters the results.
According to the date show the results which are before or after the date given as a plus, you can
see the current Shodan scans on Ixtapa radar showed Engardio.
Let's try to find out the accessible Cisco device interfaces in Great Britain.
In the search box search for Cisco and last modified words, use country, search the parameters with
the GB code.
Now you can use the country code in double quotes.
Otherwise, don't let any space occur between the country colon parameter and zip code.
When you start the search, you'll see the results in a few seconds, sir, from the results, you will
probably face the login pages of Cisco interfaces.
You've already found something you can perform, for example, a brute force attack on the login page.
If you're luckier, you can find a Cisco device manager interface like the one seen on the slide.
