Just wait until the database of ip and open ports is leaked and hackers start exploiting vulnerabilities of softwares listening to these ports to break into random people devices.
- Erwin 6y agoThat database has existed for ages: https://www.shodan.io/ https://www.shodan.io/
- hedora 6y agoDoes Shodan have a map of public ip -> natted local network ip:port pairs? I thought it was only public ip ports.
- antoinealb 6y agoI don't understand the issue you are describing. You can already scan the entire ipv4 space for cheap with tools like zmap[0]. How does a premade list help ? In addition, I would expect such a DB to go stale very quickly. [0] https://zmap.io/ https://zmap.io/
- nerdbaggy 6y agoWhat is the legality of scanning large subsets that you don’t control?
- hedora 6y agoI think it is generally acceptable for public networks, but eBay is using webrtc to bypass firewalls and then scanning private networks. That’s illegal in most circumstances (at least in the US).
- whydoyoucare 6y agoAny further pointer on the "illegal" aspect? Thanks.
