What it checks

What Shodan's InternetDB, from its weekly scans, has seen open on up to four of the site's addresses: databases, remote access and container APIs, and the known flaws it lists.

Why it matters

A database or remote desktop that answers the whole internet is found by bots within hours, and tried until it gives way.

How to fix it

  1. Close every port visitors don't need in the server's firewall: for a website, that usually leaves 80 and 443.
  2. Reach everything else through a VPN or a private network.
