Censys.io analyzer

About Censys

Censys is a search engine that enables researchers to ask questions about the hosts and networks that compose the Internet. Censys collects data on hosts and websites through daily ZMap and ZGrab scans of the IPv4 address space, in turn maintaining a database of how hosts and websites are configured. Researchers can interact with this data through a search interface, report builder, and SQL engine. Details on the Censys architecture are available in our research paper. -> About Censys.io

Think an analyzer for censys.io could be useful, I'll create one if I find some time in the next days.

Thanks @3c7 , let us know if you need any help with it, as this is something we are interested in as well :)

It would be great to know which use cases are interesting for your work, so I know what to implement. I'm just getting to know censys.io, so mayne I'm not aware of certain possible use cases. :)

Hey @3c7, for us, we basically want to check where a particular certificate has been used and information about hosts/websites like ports, AS, Alexa Rank, Page Title, HTTP body, etc., (similar to Shodan).

The more information we have to pivot off the better 👍

Thanks.

Okay, let me see what info I can fetch over the API. I'll develop the analyzer this Friday, probably.

Thanks @3c7! Looking forward to it.

Created a PR for a first version. Currently, it uses the view API-endpoint which returns the exact object (certificate or host based on ip or domain). If you have some ideas what to display in the reports additionally, I'd like to hear (read) them.
