In the past I have published Shodan tutorials which describe how you can hunt for Empire and Cobalt Strike C2 servers. These tutorials allow you to hunt for the C2 servers and it also allows you to get a better understanding of how you can perform queries via Shodan. Shodan can also be used to hunt for previously mentioned vulnerabilities, for example, CVE-2018-13379 still hasn’t been patched globally, and by following the Shodan tutorial on CVE-2018-13379 , you can actually hunt for impacted systems .
