How AI is used
CensysGPT is a query-building assistant designed to help users interact with the Censys search engine. Using OpenAI GPT, the tool converts plain-English descriptions into technical search queries, which may reduce manual setup work when searching for specific hosts on the internet.
The tool is designed for security professionals and IT departments tasked with internet reconnaissance. It supports workflows such as attack surface management and threat hunting by helping users identify assets and potential vulnerabilities across the web.
Beyond generating new queries, it can translate existing search strings from other reconnaissance platforms. This helps users move existing research from one tool to another.
Buyers should note that this is a beta tool and some generated queries may require manual correction before they can be used.
