Shodan (Sentient Hyper-Optimised Data Access Network) is a search engine designed to map and gather information about internet-connected devices and systems. Shodan is sometimes referred to as a search engine for the Internet of things (IoT). Applications of the software include market research, vulnerability analysis, and penetration testing, as well as hacking.
First, get a Shodan API key
Login to your Shodan account

Input the values for the Shodan credential
