What it does
How long each Shodan lookup or scan submission may take before it is abandoned.
When set
Longer timeouts tolerate a slow service at the cost of longer runs; shorter ones fail faster, leaving that address without Shodan data for the run.
When blank or default
Left blank, the default applies: 15 seconds.
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
Read by: publicip.
Recommended
Keep the default. Change it when: Only if lookups time out on a slow network.
