Vlad Drumea does some sleuthing:
In this post I dig through some data that Shodan provides for internet-exposed SQL Server instances, their versions and locations.
I occasionally check Shodan for SQL Server instances that are publicly exposed on the internet for anyone to poke at. I make a LinkedIn post about it (like this one) and then just leave it at that.
So, this time, I’ve decided to dig a bit more into that data and document it here.
