A curated awesome-list of Censys Search queries (dorks) for discovering exposed industrial control systems, IoT devices, databases, dashboards, and other internet-facing services. It serves as a reference resource for security researchers and OSINT practitioners rather than runnable software.

Use cases

• find exposed industrial control systems on the internet
• discover vulnerable IoT devices with Censys
• learn Censys search query syntax
• run OSINT reconnaissance on internet-facing services
• find exposed databases and dashboards
• build attack surface discovery queries

When to choose

• you use Censys Search and want ready-made queries for asset discovery
• you are learning OSINT or internet-wide scanning techniques
• you need examples of Censys DSL query syntax

When to avoid

• you need a scanning tool rather than a query reference
• you use Shodan or another search engine without Censys
• you need automated continuous monitoring
