About Censys:

Censys is a public search engine that enables researchers to quickly ask questions about the hosts and networks that compose the Internet. Censys data is trusted by just over half of the Fortune 500, several large government agencies and by customers in over fourteen countries. Our customers rely on Censys data to get the global visibility they need of their attack surfaces in order to proactively prevent nation-state attacks and emerging threats.

Censys maintains three datasets through daily ZMap scans of the Internet and by synchronizing with public certificate transparency logs:

More information about Censys scanning methodology is available at the Censys website.

Please also see the Getting Started With Intelligence Card Extensions page if you're interested in enabling this extension.

You can enrich any IP Address, Websites (domains), and Certificates (file hash) intelligence card with a live lookup of recent Censys information.

You must have commercial access to Censys to use this extension and we will need your API ID and Secret Token.  These are different from your username/password for the Censys login page and can be obtained from your “My Account” option on the top right corner once you have logged in. We do not have an OEM agreement in place with Censys and client/ user will be expected to have their own credentials to enable the extension.
