  1. It all depends upon the frequency and concurrence of the scan running. A minimum of two client nodes and a master node could be used for a distributed scan, but you can make your decision based on the number of systems you want to scan.

  2. The WMAP plugin, when loaded in Metasploit, will save all the results in the database connected to it. Note: There is no specific feature in this plugin that will generate a report on WMAP.

  3. All the formats supported by the Metasploit Framework are mentioned in the db_import command. Please refer to that.

  4. WMAP is a plugin written in Ruby. You can edit the file and modify the code according to your needs. Please read the LICENCE file before making any modifications.

  5. WMAP has a limit of 25 jobs per node. This is done to prevent nodes from being over-burdened.
