[gopher] Gopher servers in the world according to Shodan

[Eric W. Brown]

Yeah, I’d actually contacted the folks running it awhile back because they were locating various servers of all kinds except gopher and I pointed out the omission to them. They added gopher detection the following day, but I don’t know how many servers its located at this point. Interestingly (at least initially) they were finding more non-gopher resources using 70 than gopher ones.
