"When people don't see stuff on Google, they think no one can find it. That's not true."
That's according to John Matherly, creator of Shodan, the scariest search engine on the Internet.
Unlike Google, which crawls the Web looking for websites, Shodan navigates the Internet's back channels. It's a kind of "dark" Google, looking for the servers, webcams, printers, routers and all the other stuff that is connected to and makes up the Internet. (Shodan's site was slow to load Monday following the publication of this story.)
Shodan runs 24/7 and collects information on about 500 million connected devices and services each month.
It's stunning what can be found with a simple search on Shodan. Countless traffic lights, security cameras, home automation devices and heating systems are connected to the Internet and easy to spot.
Shodan searchers have found control systems for a water park, a gas station, a hotel wine cooler and a crematorium. Cybersecurity researchers have even located command and control systems for nuclear power plants and a particle-accelerating cyclotron by using Shodan.
What's really noteworthy about Shodan's ability to find all of this -- and what makes Shodan so scary -- is that very few of those devices have any kind of security built into them.....

imagine what they can do with their secret access to the crematorium’s computer control system?

LOL, I played that back when I was a kid on my uncle’s Mac, I think. I kinda remembered it was not for the PS1 as I was always fighting my older brothers for time on the PS1 and played it not on the PS console.

I have always wondered why people connect their control panels of sensitive Computers to the Internet.

Ya don't suppose their advertisers are complaining about the lack of eyeballs?
You can easily play them again, downloaded straight online.
Gog has System Shock 2, maybe the first one as well:

$9.99 isn’t too bad. I also really enjoyed the Thief series made by the same folks. I very rarely play though, since I’m usually so busy, but I have them on my hard drive on those rare occasions.
The only problem is that these games are so old, that the little cut scenes don’t like to work. You have to google for fixes and go through the trouble of downloading old codecs. Sometimes I have to do that with every play through. It works for awhile, then 4 or 5 months later, the cutscenes are gone again.
I thought that was Skynet. From the Terminator.
“Her name was Shodan, and she lived in a cottage by the sea-—eee....... and the woman that she was drove along in desperation.... a most hopeless situation for Shodan and the man and the times that made them both.... wrong.
