You Should Know:
🔹 Shodan CLI & Automation
Use Shodan’s CLI for automated recon:
shodan init YOUR_API_KEY shodan search "apache" --limit 10
🔹 Greynoise Bulk IP Lookup
Check multiple IPs for noise:
curl -XPOST "https://api.greynoise.io/v2/noise/multi/quick" \ -H "key: YOUR_API_KEY" \ -d '["8.8.8.8", "1.1.1.1"]'
🔹 Censys API for Asset Discovery
curl -u "API_ID:API_SECRET" \ "https://search.censys.io/api/v2/hosts/search?q=services.service_name:HTTP"
🔹 Dorking with Google Advanced Operators
site:example.com ext:pdf intitle:"index of" "parent directory"
🔹 Automating OSINT with Intelx.io
curl -X GET "https://public.intelx.io/intelligent/search?q=target.com" \ -H "x-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
🔹 WiFi Mapping with Wigle CLI
wigle --user USER --pass PASS --search "ssid:Starbucks"
