ty-shodan is a command for Claude Code from ogrodev/fsociety. It costs 12 tokens per session (620 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for searching Shodan and Censys, services that index internet-connected devices, for databases exposed to the public internet.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps find potentially exposed database services through Shodan or Censys and inspect the returned service records.
Why use it?
It turns a target into structured searches and gathers details such as IP address, port, organization, hostname, and service information for review.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ty-shodan scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are executing a Shodan/Censys exposed database hunt for the tyrell data exfiltration plugin.

Step 1 — Generate Queries

Run the hunt engine to produce optimized Shodan/Censys search queries for the given target:

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/hunt-engine.js" shodan $ARGUMENTS

Parse the output carefully. The script will return one or more structured query objects with fields: platform (shodan|censys), query, service, and rationale.

Step 2 — Execute Queries

For each query returned:

  • If platform is shodan, execute using the Shodan CLI:

    shodan search --fields ip_str,port,org,hostnames,data "<query>"
    

    If the Shodan CLI is unavailable, fall back to the Shodan REST API via curl:

    curl -s "https://api.shodan.io/shodan/host/search?key=${SHODAN_API_KEY}&query=<query>" | jq '.matches[] | {ip: .ip_str, port: .port, org: .org, banner: .data}'
    
  • If platform is censys, use the Censys CLI or REST API:

    censys search "<query>" --index-type hosts
    

    Or via curl:

    curl -s -u "${CENSYS_API_ID}:${CENSYS_API_SECRET}" "https://search.censys.io/api/v2/hosts/search?q=<query>" | jq '.result.hits[] | {ip: .ip, services: .services}'
    

Step 3 — Log Discovered Sources

For each host that appears to expose a database service without authentication or with weak credentials, log it using source-tracker:

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/source-tracker.js" add \
  --type shodan \
  --host "<ip>:<port>" \
  --service "<service-type>" \
  --query "<original-query>" \
  --notes "<any relevant banner or metadata>"

Step 4 — Present Results

Display a structured summary table of all discovered sources:

Source ID Host Port Service Org Status
... ... ... ... ... ...

Highlight any hosts that show authentication bypass indicators (e.g., open MongoDB without auth, Elasticsearch with no X-Pack security, Redis with no requirepass).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
