What it does
Where the engine remembers a submitted Shodan scan that has not finished yet.
When set
The next run reads this file to collect the pending scan. If the file is lost between runs, the scan result is not picked up and a new scan may be submitted.
When blank or default
Left blank, the default applies: A file in the solution's data folder.
Risk and how to reverse it
Changes what is collected from the next run: narrowing it means some assets or data are not collected, so they look absent in profiles, CIs and reports (absence is never read as fixed). Reversible: change it back; the next run collects again.
Requires
Nothing else.
Recommended
Keep the default. Change it when: Only when the data folder is not kept between runs.
