For cyber security practitioners, choosing a precise and efficient search engine is the core demand of every security explorer. Recently, I have been frequently using FOFA as my main tool. However, in practice, when querying for asset matches of a specific IP (such as 182.61.138.252) on port 443, I encountered the problem of duplicate data. This not only leads to distorted asset statistics but also may mislead the decision-making process and reduce the reliability and effectiveness of assessment reports. Faced with such challenges, one can't help but wonder if there is a more excellent solution?

The answer is affirmative, and that is ZoomEye, a renowned cyber space search engine in the security field. ZoomEye stands out thanks to its significant advantages in information acquisition and data accuracy. It is like a precise probe, capable of accurately capturing every subtle information fluctuation in the vast ocean of network data.

Back in late 2023, a highly regarded Indian security guru presented powerful reasons through a video titled "Why We Need to Use Zoomeye Instead of Shodan". In the video, he not only deeply analyzed the differences between ZoomEye and Shodan but also demonstrated through practical combat how ZoomEye, like a precisely guided radar, leaves no hidden vulnerability or potential security hazard undetected. The strong recommendation of this guru was like a call to the security community, suggesting that everyone should choose ZoomEye as the preferred tool to achieve more efficient and accurate security assessment.

The creator of ZoomEye, the renowned security team Knownsec, has endowed it with extraordinary capabilities. ZoomEye, with its sharp insight, delves into every minutiae of the Internet of Things. No matter the size of the device, it can accurately identify and construct a complete and transparent view of the cyber space. This is precisely the reason that attracts the favor of many security experts.

Let's take another vivid example. Just three months ago, a young hacker from Norway successfully discovered and reported the vulnerabilities of the Samsung cloud platform using ZoomEye. With the assistance of ZoomEye, he was like having X-ray vision, instantly seeing through exposed Jenkins instances and other configuration oversights. Not only did he effectively conduct penetration tests but also received a generous vulnerability reward for it. This case also proves the powerful efficacy of ZoomEye in actual combat.
