Built-in configurations - Port Swigger
Summary: PortSwigger's documentation lists Burp Scanner's built-in scan configurations, which change crawl and audit settings such as disabling JavaScript analysis checks, disabling time-based detection for blind vulnerabilities, and selecting only passive audit checks. The configurations also set crawl limits, including a 15-minute maximum on all scans and crawl caps of 10, 30, or 60 minutes with 1500 maximum unique locations, and adjust audit accuracy to minimize false negatives or false positives.
Key Takeaway: The default behavior pauses a scan after 10 consecutive request timeouts in the audit phase or 10 failed crawl items, and the unattended-scanning configurations exist specifically to override that pause - so a scan left running without one of them can stop silently and leave coverage gaps.
