Re: SHODAN account - free upgrade for .EDU folks

I've a correction on the value of the upgrade.  Per John:

Actually the value is much greater :) The offer also includes the
"Small Business" API plan which would otherwise cost $99/ month. And
it also includes Shodan Maps as well as 100 export credits. If you
bought those things individually it would easily be more than $200.
