When I use Shodan as a data source for any info sec consulting, I try to get the point across that Shodan’s map of your network is not accurate (nmap is much better for that), but anything that an adversary sees on Shodan is likely to be an initial target (even if it is down at the time of the attacker looking). Shodan is a fantastic tool, but I never trust it as a single source of truth for a network perimeter.
