ZoomEye is a Chinese cyberspace search engine that scans Internet devices and open ports using Xmap and Wmap to detect vulnerability.[1] Serving its primary function of scanning, ZoomEye is used to discover, analyse, and converts its data to reports, which helps data researchers. It is regarded as a cyber hacking tool but researches said it is designed for the purpose of security and research.[1][2]
Media coverage[edit]
1. 2020 Security Trails published a list of the world's top OSINTs, in which ZoomEye was listed.[3]
2. 2021, 2023 KnowledgeNile published a list of the top OSINTs in the world, and ZoomEye was ranked among them.[4]
3. IT infrastructure reconnaissance mentions that ZoomEye shows 10 times more results than its comparison search engine.[5]
Academic review[edit]
1. Aboelfotoh, S. F., and Hikal, N. A. mention in their article that ZoomEye can discover all services and devices through continuous scanning. It analyzes the obtained information and converts it into reports, enabling researchers and information seekers to understand the discovered vulnerabilities. They also provide tabulated content listing several advantages of ZoomEye.[1]
2. In Assessing the security of campus networks: the case of seven universities, it is mentioned that ZoomEye focuses on discovering web-level assets by retrieving device fingerprints and web services, utilizing a big data storage and processing platform to enhance cybersecurity research and vulnerability detection.[6]
3. Identifying vulnerabilities using internet-wide scanning data discusses ZoomEye from the aspects of functionality, data retrieval, use cases, and data access.[7]
