Using Shodan Images to Hunt Down Ransomware Groups | Huntress

Shodan, a search engine for internet-connected devices, can be used to identify and map infrastructure operated by ransomware groups by searching for distinctive artifacts and configurations associated with their command and control servers and other operational systems.

Why it matters: Security teams and threat hunters can use Shodan to proactively locate ransomware group infrastructure, enabling faster takedowns, disruption of attacks, and intelligence gathering on threat actors targeting their organizations.
