Search Shodan for internet-connected devices, open ports, and services — host lookups and database queries.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Shodan — Internet Device Search
Shodan indexes internet-connected devices and exposes metadata: open ports, running services, banners, TLS certificates, and known CVEs. Use it for security audits, reconnaissance, and asset discovery.
**Requires:** `SHODAN_API_KEY` — free tier at https://account.shodan.io (1 req/sec, 100 queries/month).
## When to Use
- User wants to know what ports/services are exposed on a specific IP
- User wants to find vulnerable systems of a specific type (e.g. exposed databases)
- User is doing a security audit and needs external exposure info
- User asks "what does Shodan show for IP X" or "find exposed Redis servers"
- Asset discovery: find all internet-exposed assets for a company/ASN
## How to Use
### Look up a specific IP address
```powershell
$ip = "8.8.8.8"
$key = $env:SHODAN_API_KEY
$url = "https://api.shodan.io/shodan/host/${ip}?key=${key}"
$host = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url
Write-Host "IP: $($host.ip_str)"
Write-Host "Organization: $($host.org)"
Write-Host "OS: $($host.os)"
Write-Host "Country: $($host.country_name)"
Write-Host "Open ports: $($host.ports -join ', ')"
Write-Host ""
Write-Host "Services:"

How to install
mdr add taracodlabs/aiden/shodan@sha256:868eb03de5ca8834The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
