  • Vulnerability Assessment: Fixed and operational
  • Risk Scoring: Operational
  • Report Generation: JSON and CSV formats working
  • Database Storage: SQLite operational (17 scans, 2253 findings)
  • Query Templates: 13 templates available and tested

📊 Current Statistics

  • Total Scans Completed: 17
  • Total Findings: 2,253
  • Unique IPs Discovered: 1,577
  • Available Templates: 13

Recent Bug Fixes (Feb 9, 2026)

Critical Issue Resolved

Problem: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'lower'

Impact: Caused vulnerability assessment to crash during scans

Root Cause: Shodan API returning None values for HTTP metadata instead of empty dictionaries

Solution: Applied defensive programming pattern across 4 files:

  • src/core/vulnerability_assessor.py (5 fixes)
  • src/engines/shodan_engine.py (4 fixes)
  • src/core/risk_scorer.py (2 fixes)
  • src/enrichment/threat_enricher.py (1 fix)

Testing: Verified with successful scan of 32 ClawdBot instances

See FIXES_APPLIED.md for detailed technical information.

Testing Results

Latest Scan (Feb 9, 2026 23:43)

Template: clawdbot_instances
Duration: 3.3 seconds
Results: 32 unique findings
Risk Distribution:
  - Critical: 4
  - High: 0
  - Medium: 0
  - Low: 28
Average Risk Score: 3.7/10
Status: ✅ Completed successfully

All Commands Tested

  • python -m src.main status - Working
  • python -m src.main templates - Working
  • python -m src.main history - Working
  • python -m src.main scan --template clawdbot_instances --yes - Working

Known Limitations

  1. Search Engines: Only Shodan is currently implemented
  2. Rate Limiting: Limited by Shodan API plan (1 query/second)
  3. Passive Scanning: No active vulnerability verification
  4. False Positives: Some findings may be honeypots or false positives

Recommendations

Immediate Use

  1. Run reconnaissance scans using available templates
  2. Review generated JSON reports for detailed findings
  3. Use scan history to track discoveries over time
  4. Export findings to CSV for analysis

Future Enhancements

  1. Add Censys and BinaryEdge engine support
  2. Implement active vulnerability verification (with authorization)
  3. Add web dashboard for visualization
  4. Create custom query builder UI
  5. Add automated alert system
  6. Implement result export to SIEM systems

Best Practices

  1. Always use --yes flag for automated scans
  2. Start with specific templates rather than broad queries
  3. Monitor Shodan credit usage
  4. Review and validate findings before taking action
  5. Responsibly disclose any critical vulnerabilities found
