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.

Program

Shodan Recon & Censys curriculum: 5 modules over 5 days

Module 1 : Passive Reconnaissance with Shodan Recon & Censys (Shodan CLI, Censys API)

Participants discover the Shodan and Censys interfaces, create API accounts, and run basic queries on exposed services. They compare results on test targets, export data in JSON, and identify undocumented ports. A practical exercise leads to an initial mapping of a fictional network.

Module 2 : Advanced Queries and Filters with Shodan Recon & Censys (Shodan Dorks, Censys Search)

Build complex filters to isolate vulnerable software versions and expired certificates. Learners test dorks on controlled environments, measure result volumes, and refine queries to reduce noise. Deliverable: reusable filter set exported in CSV.

Module 3 : Automation and Scripting with Shodan Recon & Censys (Python, Censys Python Library)

Write Python scripts that chain Shodan and Censys API calls and enrich data with tags. Participants link outputs from the previous day, filter false positives, and generate a simple dashboard. Exercise on a real case of 200 exposed hosts.

Module 4 : Risk Analysis and Mapping with Shodan Recon & Censys (Censys ASM, Shodan Monitor)

Use ASM and Monitor modules to track exposure evolution. Learners create alerts, compare scans over multiple days, and quantify risks by criticality. Deliverable: exposure map with prioritized remediation actions.

Module 5 : SOC Integration and Reporting with Shodan Recon & Censys (Splunk, PDF Reports)

Import results into a test SIEM and draft reports usable by operational teams. Participants simulate a presentation to decision-makers, incorporate quantified indicators, and validate final deliverables. Closing with a review of common errors avoided.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your Shodan Recon & Censys 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.
