Shosearch

Shosearch is a tool that queries Shodan database and puts results in mongodb.

It's best to use this tool together with shoview, which retrieves data from mongodb and generates reports.

Basic usage

Make sure mongod is running. (To install on Mac: brew install mongodb, then mongod to start daemon).

Make sure cargo command is working. To install cargo, go to https://rustup.rs/ and follow the instructions.

You can run cargo run -- -h to see help.

Usage examples:

cargo run -- -a [api-key] -q nginx will perform 'nginx' query against shodan API, using default mongodb collection, just 100 first entries
cargo run -- -a [api-key] -q nginx -c my_coll will save results to a different collection
cargo run -- -a [api-key] -q apache2 -p 2 will use 'apache2' query and get 2 pages (200 entries)
cargo run -- -a [api-key] -q "apache2 country:US" you can also use more complicated queries

Shosearch is written in Rust. Can be build using cargo, like any other Rust program.

To install cargo, go to https://rustup.rs/ and follow the instructions.

To build shosearch, run

cargo build --release

in repo's main directory.

The binary will be in target/release folder.
