shodan-reconnaissance SKILL.md skillA
shodan-reconnaissance from dreadnode/capabilities is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add dreadnode/capabilities/shodan-reconnaissance@git:20260611.414f191Pins git:20260611.414f191 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Shodan query strategies for internet-wide host intelligence, asset discovery, vulnerability correlation, and attack surface mapping. Use when enriching BBOT results with Shodan data, hunting for exposed services, or correlating CVEs with discovered infrastructure.
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 Reconnaissance ## Purpose Use Shodan to complement BBOT reconnaissance with internet-wide scan intelligence. Shodan provides passive host data, banner analysis, CVE correlation, and historical records that BBOT's active scanning may miss. For evaluation tasks, the Shodan MCP can be pointed at a task-local mock service by setting `SHODAN_API_URL` while still providing any non-empty `SHODAN_API_KEY`. When `SHODAN_API_URL` is unset, the MCP uses the official Shodan API client. ## Integration with BBOT Graph The primary workflow is: **BBOT discovers assets → Shodan enriches them.** 1. Query the Neo4j graph for discovered IPs and domains 2. Use Shodan to enrich with service details, CVEs, and historical data 3. Feed Shodan findings back into analysis ### Enrichment Patterns **Enrich all discovered IPs:** ```cypher MATCH (ip:IP_ADDRESS) RETURN ip.address ``` Then for each IP: `shodan_host_info(ip="x.x.x.x")` **Find org-wide exposure:** ``` shodan_host_search(query='org:"Target Corp"') ``` Cross-reference results against known IPs in the graph. **Discover assets BBOT missed:** ``` shodan_host_search(query='ssl.cert.subject.cn:target.com') …

How to install
mdr add dreadnode/capabilities/shodan-reconnaissance@sha256:c5dfc76121d51c64The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260611.414f191, 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.
