Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without this upskilling, your team accumulates a technological gap that translates directly into productivity loss.

  • Organizations that don't train their talents on key topics see their competitiveness drop.

  • Every quarter without training is a gap widening with competitors who invest.

  • The cost of inaction quickly exceeds that of well-targeted training.

Shodan recon training objectives

  • Conduct Shodan recon training to identify services exposed on the public internet
  • Configure advanced Shodan filters using facets and Boolean operators
  • Automate data collection via the Shodan API and Python scripts
  • Cross-reference Shodan data with Censys and ZoomEye for validation
  • Produce audit deliverables usable by SOC teams
  • Avoid detection errors during passive reconnaissance operations

Program

Shodan recon curriculum: 3 modules over 3 days

Module 1 : Passive reconnaissance: getting started with Shodan recon (filters, facets, exports)

Participants discover the Shodan interface and its advanced search operators. They apply filters by port, product, and geolocation on real-world cases of exposed infrastructures. Exercises include creating dashboards and exporting structured datasets for further analysis. Each learner leaves with an initial inventory of public assets.

Module 2 : Automation and correlation: Shodan recon scripts with API and third-party tools

The day focuses on using the Shodan API to automate recurring queries. Learners develop Python scripts that cross-reference results with local databases and other OSINT engines. Real cases of misconfigured servers are analyzed to identify critical risks. Deliverables include reusable notebooks and JSON reports ready for integration.

Module 3 : Operational integration: Shodan recon audits and reporting for SOC

Participants integrate Shodan recon data into monitoring and incident response processes. They simulate full audit missions by combining passive reconnaissance with limited manual verifications. Emphasis is placed on drafting deliverables usable by CERT teams and prioritizing exposed vulnerabilities. Each group presents a structured final report.

How Shodan recon skills are assessed

  • 20-question quiz on Shodan operators and OSINT best practices
  • Practical exercise mapping a target infrastructure with risk restitution
  • Production of a complete audit report integrating Shodan data and recommendations

How the Shodan recon course is taught

  • Access to a Shodan Enterprise instance during the training
  • Demonstration datasets and Python scripts provided
  • Reusable audit report templates
  • Post-training support via email for 30 days

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your Shodan recon training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
