IP ranges#
TODO. ASNs and CIDR blocks, sourced from the regional registry.
Online devices#
Exposed services and device counts from internet-wide scans (Shodan, Censys, Quake, FOFA). Operator uses this to scope target discovery, attribute observed activity, and pre-stage payloads. Refresh against live facets before relying on the numbers.
