Network scanning tools typically use port scans to steal information from network terminals and identify vulnerabilities. In particular, Shodan and Censys use a network scanning tool to gather a wide range of terminal information, store it in their database and provide it to the users. In order to prevent such information gathering, it is required to know the scanning methods of Shodan and Censys. However, the scanning model used by Shodan and Censys is not known exactly. Therefore, this paper estimates scanning models of Shodan and Censys and analyzes the performance of each models.
