AutoSploit combines two well-known security tools into an automatic hunting and hacking machine. The tool uses command line interfaces and text files to extract data from the Shodan database. The release of the tool on GitHub triggered an outcry from security doomsayers who were concerned that tapping into Shodan would give the tool the ability to mass-exploit thousands of vulnerable Internet of Things (IoT) devices like the Mirai botnet did last year. The outcry is a repeat of the controversy that Metasploit and Shodan generated on their own a decade ago.”]
