FYI

John Matherly is offering free SHODAN account upgrades if your SHODAN
user registration is based from a .EDU email address.  Applies to
faculty, staff, students, etc.  This is a value of US $20....but
really worth much more from a practical intel standpoint.  A very
generous move by John and kudos to him.

See: https://twitter.com/achillean/status/502561907719819265

This is well worth it for the added funtionality.  Find all your
public exposed SCADA/ICS [1] before the bad guys do...and all the
other stuff, like printers, XP boxen, etc. [2]
