What you give it

InputTypeDescription
domainsarrayrequiredThe domains to protect. Lookalikes are generated from these.
techniquesarrayoptionalLeave empty to use all 11. Fewer techniques = faster, cheaper runs.
checkEmailCapabilitybooleanoptionalStrongly recommended. A lookalike with MX records can RECEIVE EMAIL — that is invoice-fraud and credential-phishing infrastructure, and it is the single most important finding this actor produces.
registeredOnlybooleanoptionalOn by default. Turn off to also list unregistered variants you may want to defensively register.
minThreatScoreintegeroptionalFilter out low-signal hits. 40+ = medium, 60+ = high, 80+ = critical.
maxVariantsPerDomainintegeroptionalCaps how wide the net goes. 800 is thorough; lower it for a fast scan.
tldsarrayoptionalLeave empty for the commonly abused defaults (.com .co .cm .om .net .org .io .app …).
comboWordsarrayoptionalLeave empty for the defaults (login, secure, verify, billing, support …).
concurrencyintegeroptional10 is a good balance.
maxItemsintegeroptionalHard limit, strictly enforced.
