Shodan Honeyscore Client

Checking whether a server is a honeypot or not is always a good idea. The last thing you want is to waste your time or be blocked because you were trying to attack a honeypot. Using the Shodan Honeyscore Client auxiliary module, you can use Shodan to check whether a server is a honeypot or not. The API returns a score from 0.0 to 1.0, 1.0 being a honeypot:
