Show HN: Personal IoT scanner and search engine

Yep, currently it only looks at port 80 but it would be a trivial change to check others.

So it's great for finding web interfaces for DVR systems, printers, routers, obscure websites, etc. And it's good for collecting a random sample of host=>header data for research.

But it's not going to search for exposed database ports or other protocols unless someone wants to modify it for that purpose.

As far as the legality goes, it's probably on-par with something like nmap and will differ by region. However, it's only collecting the headers responded by a server voluntarily rather than probing all possible ports for exploits. In essence it's like typing random IP addresses into your browser until you get responses.

Right now it's scanning random IPv4 addresses, everything accessible. Though it may be a good idea to add some sort of whitelist or blacklist rules.

I've mainly been using it for sampling and exploration purposes. Like a bite-sized version of Shodan.
