Scan profiles
driftmux uses profiles to control how active the assessment should be.
Passive
The passive profile is the safest mode.
It focuses on discovery and passive enrichment. Active template execution should be skipped in this mode.
Example:
driftmux --host example.org --profile passive
Use this mode when you want a conservative first look at a host.
Fast
The fast profile is designed for regular use.
It can run selected high-signal checks, avoiding noisy or intrusive categories such as fuzzing, denial-of-service, brute force and headless checks.
Example:
driftmux --host example.org --profile fast
Deep
The deep profile enables broader checks.
Use it when you have explicit authorization and want a more complete assessment:
driftmux --host example.org --profile deep
