I had some Shodan credits from a Humble Bundle, so searched for all servers on port 80 in my city. Then I wrote a very simple Python program to screenshot each of those (using wkhtmltoimage), with 20 concurrent threads.&lt;p&gt;I didn&amp;#x27;t stitch the images together and didn&amp;#x27;t try to login to any of the sites (that would be crossing a line, and simply mapping geographically local, public servers seems harmless). Just flicking through the 7,000-ish screenshots has been pretty fun.&lt;p&gt;Lots and lots of:&lt;p&gt;- router admin panels on the WAN interface. Loads of different brands and models&lt;p&gt;- DVR and NAS units&lt;p&gt;- HikVision CCTV (like, hundreds of these - I wonder if they&amp;#x27;re being used at local hospitals or city centre surveillance by the police)&lt;p&gt;- IIS servers (especially IIS 7)&lt;p&gt;- 403s (mostly with the IIS default template)&lt;p&gt;- University department and team websites (there are a few universities in my city so there are lots of these)&lt;p&gt;Some weird and wonderful personal websites. Lots of one-line jokes just to fill a space on a public server, presumably. A few wikis.&lt;p&gt;Overall it&amp;#x27;s been really fun looking at all the servers that are public but just not really indexed, physically surrounding me.</text></comment>
