This Censys tutorial demonstrates using Search 2.0 to find defaced or hacked web servers (e.g., searching for "hacked by" in HTTP titles), shows how to include virtual hosts and apply filters by country, city, or ASN, and explains building aggregated reports for researchers; it also provides remediation guidance for defenders and cautions about safe access and interpreting aggregate statistics.
