What gives Shadowserver the right to scan the whole ipv4 internet? Fairly certain scanning a network that you don't have authority to scan/manage is a violation of at least 1 federal law and may local laws.
I mean I don't know which law that would be since the Internet is specifically public. You can film in public too in most places on earth.
