Want to see how the Internet has changed over the years, how fast an organization is patching their services or what technologies are getting adopted? Shodan Trends lets you search across the historical Shodan data going back to 2017.
Shodan Trends runs the provided search query across all the data collected the past few years and plots the results broken down by month. For example, below is a graph that shows how many services for industrial control systems have been exposed to the Internet over time:
The search query used is tag:ics and in Shodan Trends it doesn't require a Corporate API tier to use the tag filter. All search filters listed on the Trends Filters page are available to everyone. We can also drill into specific aspects of the data. For example, below is a breakdown of countries for the tag:ics search query:
The Facet breakdown page also has an Export button to download the table data in CSV format for offline processing.
Finally, everything is powered by a public API that you can use to automatically run historical queries which you can experiment with via our Postman collection.
