Finally, we would realize that this concept is a consequence of the long-term evolutional process that
would improve our technological advancements. The role of the mechatronics systems is to make a solid
basis to an industry as well as some home applications. The mechatronics is a quite complicated branch
of technology and people dealing with its design, research, development and maintainace must be highly
skillful. In such a case, it’s vitally important to understand all the simple terms of that technology in order
to deal with so at a more holistic level. Indeed, this sort of industry would require a multidisciplinary team
of experts who would so deeply cope with their areas of expertise and make these systems work so
accurately and intelligently.

The Shodan and the mechatronics solutions

Through this book’s chapter mainly dealing with the practice – we would try to discuss how mechatronics
systems could get correlate with one of the scariest search engines of today. In addition, it’s quite clear
that crawler is a Shodan and right here – we would attempt to explain how we could use such a tool to
get familiar with the mechatronics systems. As we would suggest through the title of this chapter – the
purpose of this segment is to indicate to all the weaknesses of mechatronics systems being exposed to
the web as well as suggest some of the hacking strategies. So, let’s start with the Shodan being our top
crawler for the world of advanced technology. The first step of this research would get given in a Figure
3 as follows.

Figure 3. The Shodan’s environment to industrial systems

As it’s illustrated in a Figure 3 – the Shodan would offer us several featured options that could lead us to
sections being ICS, Databases and Video Games. Right here, we would be deeply interested into the
ICS as something which would rely on the mechatronics principles. As it’s well known – for a required
keyword, the Shodan would return us a certain IP address offering us an opportunity to try to exploit such
