Abstract: Adaptive scanning is described. The adaptive scanning may include performing a passive scan of communications associated with a device, where the passive scan comprises observing one or more communications of the device over a network. One or more attributes associated with the device based on the passive scan are determined and an active scan of the device is performed based on the one or more attributes based on the passive scan. The active scan is customized for the device based on the one or more attributes determined based on the passive scan and the active scan comprises sending one or more requests to the device. One or more attributes associated with the device may be determined based on the active scan. The one or more attributes based on the passive scan and the one or more results based on the active scan associated with the device are stored.
