>>It used to be that people who used the Internet did so under certain social norms. One of these was not to touch another's network without permission and, if caught, accept you got caught and gracefully stop it. This is a silly argument. You're connecting to the internet, bud. It's a dangerous place, and there is zero expectation that nobody look at or scan your network. PUBLIC internet means what you connect to it is PUBLIC, at the global scale. Shodan isn't hacking into secured devices. It isn't getting past your ISP's firewall and looking into restricted networks. It's scanning publicly addressed, explicitly broadcast ports, services, devices, and data. It's not on them to cater to your weird sense of internet manners, it's on you to wise up to what your public internet connection means.
