COURSE IS SELF-PACED, AVAILABLE ON DEMAND
DURATION: 1 hour
CPE POINTS: On completion you get a certificate granting you 1 CPE point.
The course will focus on finding security vulnerabilities in the Internet of Things online devices using Shodan. This workshop will be especially useful for those who want to learn more about OSINT, cybersecurity, and technology in general.
Why THIS course?
This course will give you practical, hands-on exposure to vulnerability hunting specific to IoT as well as some digital intelligence gathering techniques. Focused on the topics of OSINT and IoT, it’s quick and can be done in an hour - but you will be able to put your new knowledge to the test in the real world right after you finish. If you were looking for a self-contained tutorial on OSINT, Shodan, IoT, or all of the above, this is the perfect course for you!
Why take it NOW?
Both OSINT and IoT security are now trending in the cybersecurity space. IoT is a growing field and more and more tech is appearing on the market, thus increasing the potential surface of attack against people who simply keep those devices at home. At the same time, OSINT skills supplementing reconnaissance are fast becoming one of the most essential tools for any pentester.

Perfect course
This is the best course for learning Shodan as a beginner. Nonetheless, the exam questions are kind of out of date and will likely confuse newbies as systems have enhanced and so has Shodan as well. Nonetheless, the concepts behind using Shodan is pretty much the same throughout the course so I’d still recommend it.
Very Informative course
I highly recommend this course if you are new to Shodan or want to become a power-user of Shodan.
Thanks!
OSINT & IoT Devices.
Fantastic course, great introduction into OSINT with the use of Shodan. Easy to follow instructor with in-depth explanation of what the searches have lead. I highly recommend this course to beginners and professionals.
Interesting course
Short, useful and quite interesting course for me to practice with.
Thank you.
