What is the difference between shodan.io and shadowserver.org ?

In what regard?  Both of those conduct frequent scans of the IPv4
internet.  Neither of them attacks nor penetrates.   The former may be
a more tailored scan.

Shodan's a for-profit site that provides access to general data from
their scans about any hosts/networks on the internet to anybody who
wants to search their data and pays for a subscription.

Shadowserver's a non-profit.. cost $0 for the ISP to subscribe to
their reports, that generates reports on certain issues  specifically
against botnets, malware, DDoS risks; they distribute to the IP block
owners on need-to-know.
