>(I wouldn't rule out that you may be hinting to Shodan that these particular IPs are valid though!)
For those of us on IPv4, eh. Only 4 billion addresses, and with a lot of that itself tied up in various large /8s to a few specific organizations many of which can be assumed to be beyond casual level, it's just no longer a real haul to scan everything all the time at a basic level. Plus for those of us browsing from our main address we're leaving a trail all over the web anyway through a host of poorly secured servers. So I while I don't disagree it's worth thinking about information leaks and honey pots and the like whenever dealing with infosec in any way, in this specific case I also don't think this reveals anything of significant value.
