Over time, I've collected an assortment of interesting, funny, and depressing search queries to plug into [Shodan](https://www.shodan.io/), the ([literal](https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/9bvxmd/shodan-exposes-the-dark-side-of-the-net)) internet search engine. Some return facepalm-inducing results, while others return serious and/or ancient vulnerabilities in the wild.

You can assume these queries only return unsecured/open instances when possible. For your own legal benefit, do not attempt to login (even with default passwords) if they aren't! Narrow down results by adding filters like `country:US` or `org:"Harvard University"` or `hostname:"nasa.gov"` to the end.

The world and its devices are quickly becoming more connected through the shiny new [Internet of ~~Things~~ Sh\*t](https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/topic/internet-of-shit) — and exponentially [more dangerous](https://blog.malwarebytes.com/101/2017/12/internet-things-iot-security-never/) as a result. To that end, I hope this list spreads awareness (and, quite frankly, pant-wetting fear) rather than harm.

**And as always, [discover and disclose responsibly](https://www.bugcrowd.com/resource/what-is-responsible-disclosure/)! 😊**
