How to Set Up FireShodanMap: A Real-Time Vulnerability Mapping Tool

Mar 15, 2022 | Programming

Welcome to your guide on setting up the FireShodanMap! This innovative tool merges the capabilities of Firebase and Shodan to create a dynamic map that displays vulnerable devices in real-time. In this blog, we’ll walk you through the setup process and troubleshoot common issues along the way.

Getting Started with FireShodanMap

The first step to harnessing the power of FireShodanMap is understanding its core components. The system integrates Firebase for real-time data updates and Shodan for searching vulnerable devices. When a search is conducted using Shodan, the results populate a real-time map, allowing for efficient analysis.

Installation Steps

Follow these steps to install and configure FireShodanMap:

  • Step 1: Configure Firebase
    • Go to the Firebase console and create a new project.
    • Navigate to the ‘Credentials’ tab.
    • Create new credentials: Select the API key option and generate a server key. Your .json file will download automatically.
  • Step 2: Replace the Keys
    • Open fireshodan.py and replace FILE_WITH_KEY.json with the path to your downloaded key file.
    • Replace KEY_FIREBASE_HERE with the Firebase key from your project.
    • Get your Shodan API key from here.
  • Step 3: Configure Additional Files
    • Update the index.html file to include your Google Maps API key from here.
    • Edit firebase_conf.js to integrate your Firebase project details.

Usage Example

Once you’ve completed the setup, you can run the system easily:

  • Access the index.html file and run python fireshodan.py to populate your database.
  • Upon running this, your data will appear on the map in real time!
  • Any data removed will automatically trigger the map to update.
  • Note: Stopping the script doesn’t delete the existing data; it remains saved for future analysis.

Troubleshooting Tips

Even the most well-planned projects can face hurdles. Here are some troubleshooting ideas you might find helpful:

  • If the map fails to display data, double-check your Firebase and Shodan API keys to ensure they are entered correctly.
  • Ensure that your index.html file references the Google Maps API key correctly.
  • Check your network connection and make sure all services (Firebase and Shodan) are operational.
