Checking It Twice: Profiling Benign Internet Scanners - 2024 Edition
A 2024 analysis profiled benign internet scanning services such as Shodan and Censys by deploying 24 sensors across multiple geographies and autonomous systems to measure discovery speeds and thoroughness. Most scanners identified new internet-facing assets within 5 minutes, with ONYPHE achieving the fastest first contact. The research provides a baseline understanding of how legitimate reconnaissance activity operates at scale.
Why it matters: Security practitioners need to understand scanning behavior to distinguish benign reconnaissance from malicious probing, tune monitoring rules to avoid alert fatigue, and establish baseline expectations for network exposure discovery timelines.
