 There's 2 really great uses for metasploit for white hat security guys:

 1) When you're handed a /16 or two during a pen test, and need a quick way
 to poke a whole bunch of machines for a vulnerability, it's hard to roll-your-own
 exploit tester as fast as you can chinese-menu one in metasploit.

 2) It's a *great* tool for impressing on a PHB just how easy it is to launch
 an exploit for something at one of the unsecured systems he's responsible for.

I stand by everything i've said in this thread and said it to HD Moore
on IRC months ago, including government conspiracies.

All the best,
