<p><strong>Internet Census Group</strong>
seeks to analyze trends and benchmark security performance across a broad
range of industries.
We are committed to the education and long-term improvement of security
practices across the Internet to provide an ever-stronger defense against
the threat of security attacks.
</p>
<p>The Internet Census Group is led by BitSight Technologies, Inc. and we
encourage
organizations from industry, government or academia that would like to
collaborate
on security projects to contact us.</p>

<div class="title3 c-blue2">How We Collect Data?</div>
<div class="entry-content">
<p><strong>Our data collection techniques involve making a series of
connection attempts</strong>
to publicly accessible computers and devices on the internet.
Specifically, we make a standard connection request to an online
system, and – in the cases where the systems are responsive – we
will attempt a protocol handshake.</p>
<p>Wherever possible, we only collect security data that would be
visible to any entity that attempted to connect to a particular
address and port. We will never attempt to change device
configurations.</p>

<div class="title3 c-blue2">What Data Do We Collect?</div>
<div class="entry-content">
<p>
<strong>The purpose of our project is to evaluate the security posture of
internet connected systems. Therefore, the data we collect is limited
to:</strong>
</p><ul>
<li>Installed versions of network exposed services, applications and libraries
(e.g. Wordpress, Apache, PHP, etc.)</li>
<li>Metadata about exposed services and applications: Which ports are open, what
services and applications are running, identification banners, TLS
certificates, enabled features, etc</li>
<li>Vulnerability information for systems and services that exhibit vulnerable
behavior, such as a network service behaving in a way that strongly
correlates to the presence of a specific vulnerability
(e.g. a server vulnerable to the BlueKeep vulnerability will allow the
creation and communication through a dynamic virtual channel with the
‘MS_T120’ reserved name).</li>

<div class="title3 c-blue2">What Data is not Collected?</div>
<div class="entry-content">
<p>
We want to be clear that we actively try to avoid collecting potentially
sensitive information. For example, if we encounter an exposed, unauthenticated
database, we will only collect a minimal amount of information that will allow
us to corroborate the finding. In the case of an open (i.e. no authentication)
SQL database available, we would only collect a sample of the information
schema, avoiding collecting the table’s contents.
<br>
When we suspect that some sensitive information might be collected inadvertently
by our systems, we will store it in hashed format so that it can not be used
maliciously.
<br>
We only intend to study and collect data about corporations and other entities.
It is not our intent to collect or study the IP addresses of individuals as part
of this project. Since we only collect and study IP addresses, we cannot tell if
an IP address is owned by a person or an entity (as we have no personal data to
tie it to). If you identify yourself to us as an individual via our opt out
process (see “Opting Out” below), and request that we delete your personal
information, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete any personal
information about you from our scanning activities (other than information we
must retain to comply with your request to remain on our opt out list or as
otherwise permitted by applicable law).

<div class="title3 c-blue2">How to identify Internet Census?</div>
<div class="entry-content">
<p>
We want our research to be as transparent as possible. As such, we make efforts
to allow everyone to associate our scanning activities to this project. In order
to identify an Internet Census scanning IP address one should perform a reverse
DNS lookup of the scanning IP address and confirm that it belongs to the
internet-census.org domain, followed by a regular DNS lookup to the resulting
hostname, and confirm that the latter result contains the initial IP address.

Example:

<code>
$ dig +short -x 184.154.44.226 sh-chi-us-gp1-wk101.internet-census.org.
<br>
$ dig +short sh-chi-us-gp1-wk101.internet-census.org | grep 184.154.44.226
184.154.44.226

<div class="entry-content">
<p><strong>We are committed to upholding the security and privacy of the entire online
community.</strong>
In alignment with this commitment, we maintain a list of IP addresses
whose owners have requested us to opt-out of Internet Census Group’s scanning
activities.</p>
<p>To have your IP address added to this list, please send a list of the IP addresses
you wish to remove via email to: <a href="mailto:[email protected]"><strong>[email protected]</strong></a>.
Given the dynamic
nature of IP address ownership, approved opt-out requests will be valid for a period
of six months. To maintain the opt-out status, you must submit an opt-out renewal
at the conclusion of each six month opt-out period.</p>
<p>
Please note that, by submitting an opt-out request, you agree to notify us if your IP
addresses or networks change so that we can apply your opt-out request to your
new IP addresses or networks.
