Good old archie... http://archie.icm.edu.pl/archie-adv_eng.html
Now this DOES bring on the nostalgia... :-) I recall there used to be a veronica too (Very Easy Rodent Oriented Network something or the other....), then a jughead too ...
"All in all, there were exactly 18,454,087 things that responded to a banner fetch... The JSON file is about 4GiB." where can I download this JSON file? I only see the list of ips available.

Sure. Faster even with a better scheduler. I just wanted to show how the simplest and most redneck way still finishes in a reasonable amount of time. :-)
I was amazed how fast that went. Was fully expecting the story to unfold with how you rented out 100 AWS servers to complete the task, instead it was just one computer and only took hours.
I got my first internet account on my high school's VAX in 1992 in order to download Dr. Dobb's code from ftp.mv.com. The VAX had a help file installed which was a list of thousands of anonymous FTP servers, most of which requested that you please not use anonymous FTP during business hours to avoid overloading them; shortly I was downloading all kinds of things from wuarchive.wustl.edu (which had a LOT of stuff) and…
Given the Internet is a particular thing, shouldn't it still be used as a proper noun?

In my youth, I probably downloaded hundreds of gigabytes from wuarchive.wustl.edu, ftp.cdrom.com, metalab.unc.edu, and the like. Over a dial-up modem, no less. Before I had local Internet access (i.e., long distance calls), I used the various "FTP by e-mail" services with my free "Juno" e-mail account (they had toll-free numbers for access!).

"capitalizing Internet was still justifiable at the time" Given the Internet is a particular thing, shouldn't it still be used as a proper noun?
cat: README: No such file or directory
I'd occasionally get email from frustrated people who had trouble trying to read the README file, so I'd tell them to simply run "emacs README", and emacs would solve all of their problems. I don't know if my passive aggressive emacs evangelism ever worked, because I never heard back from them.

AP Style Alert. Internet and web are no longer to be capitalized. Check the googles.
And how do they protect against spam?

This might be a useful starting point: https://blog.shodan.io/its-still-the-data-stupid/ Shodan crawls for most nosql/ queueing software including mongodb and redistribution. And related to OP: we also crawl for FTP and attempt anonymous as well as a few other things to better understand FTP deployments on the Internet.
