Weird. It's exactly what it says, but I don't see how it's useful. I guess a lot of people reuse assets between sock puppet sites?

This free online tool helps you analyze website favicons and generate various hash formats used by popular search engines and security tools. Enter a domain or URL below to analyze its favicon.

Seems nice. I've tried a couple examples and compared them to other websites like it, it works better. I don't have a Shodan account so I can't check it works well with it.

What do you guys think?
