censys config

`search`

Below we show an example of Searching from the CLI.

censys search 'services.http.response.html_title: "Tesla Energy Powerpack"' --index-type hosts

By combining the search command with jq we can easily manipulate the output to get the desired fields.

censys search 'services.service_name: IKETTLE' --index-type hosts | jq -c '.[] | {ip: .ip}'

Below we show an example of Viewing a host from the CLI.

censys view 8.8.8.8

You can save results to a file using the -f and -o arguments.

censys view 8.8.8.8 -f json -o google.json

We can then parse this json with something like jq.

cat google.json | jq '[.services[] | {port: .port, protocol: .service_name}]'

Below we show an example of adding seeds from the CLI.

censys asm add-seeds -j '["1.1.1.1"]'

You can also add seeds from STDIN using the -i - argument. In the example below we are adding IPs from a Censys Search.

censys search 'services.tls.certificates.leaf_data.issuer.common_name: "Roomba CA"' | jq '[.[] | .ip]' | censys asm add-seeds -i -
