What shodan-reconnaissance does

This skill directs Claude Code on structuring reconnaissance workflows with the Shodan search engine. It details syntax for querying individual target IP addresses, inspecting banners, and evaluating hosts with the honeyscore check. Structured CLI commands show how to pull filtered records by country, organization, or port, and save exports as JSON or CSV files.

The instructions also outline on-demand scans via shodan scan submit alongside direct REST API endpoints. You must configure an API key through shodan init beforehand, or the commands will fail. Several search filters and scan operations also deduct account credits.

What it helps with

  • inventory open network ports and services across target IPs
  • identify internet-facing hosts affected by specific CVEs
  • export Shodan search query results into JSON or CSV files
  • verify whether a target host behaves as a honeypot

Example prompts for the agent

  • Inspect IP 1.1.1.1 with Shodan and list open network ports
  • Gather statistics on nginx installations in New York using the Shodan CLI
  • Submit host 192.168.1.100 for scanning and store output in scan_results.json.gz
