In cyber space there is a hidden world exists and is commonly known as #Deep web, what we use are referred to as #Surface web which constitutes only 4 percent of total Internet as per statistics. Recently a new search engine has been developed that is hacker friendly.
For exploiting the Deep web the normal search engine wont help for that specialized tools and search engines should be used. #Shodan is one such search engine that has been used to find the vulnerable devices and also for scanning purposes.
#IoT (Internet of Things) evolves at a rapid rate and due to which many vulnerabilities arises. Many manufacturers and many users use hardcoded cryptographic key which allows anyone to spy through the device.
There has been many hacks in recent days involving hacking #CCTV and #Baby monitors in hospitals and now even toys. The newly developed search engine #Censys powered by the search engine giant #Google is used to find all the vulnerable devices connected to Internet.
If any device is about to be connected to Internet it will act as a door to your network and this search engine #Censys uses two components such as #Zmap and #Zgrab.
Zmap is an open source network scanner and #Zgrab is an application layer scanner and this can be used by any hacker to find vulnerable devices at one stop.
#Censys can provide details about the devices through which many zombies can be formed and also it causes damage to the users in worst way. Users are requested to secure their devices before connecting them to Internet.
