By default, WMAP runs all the modules on the target but you can change the order in which the modules are executed (this is covered in the next topic):
- To run WMAP, execute the following command:
wmap_run -e
The following screenshot shows the output of the preceding command:
Once the preceding command is executed, the execution of the loaded modules will begin. There's no pause or resume option in WMAP, so you either have to wait for the scan to finish or you can interrupt the scanning process by pressing Ctrl + C.
- To learn more about the wmap_run command, you can execute the wmap_run -h command to see the other available options that can be used at the time of launch:
You can even launch the WMAP scan based on modules using keyword strings or regex. In this case, we used a string that will search for any version keyword in the list of loaded modules:
We can use a regular expression according to our needs. We have now learned about the different phases of the WMAP scanning process. In the next section, we will learn about execution order in WMAP.
