I have no idea what this does from looking at that page.

It's a vulnerability exploitation framework. It is used by security experts for vulnerability development and penetration testing.

Haha, i think this is a different type of "Hacker News"

There are quite a few security types on here too :) (besides myself I know of at least 5).

Red leader reporting in--I'm no tptacek or cperciva, but my day job is securing a large network, and metasploit is relevant to my interests.

DC407 reporting in. :) Where's tptacek when we need him?

At least a few given the number of times stuff from here gets posted on facebook by various infosec friends.

Yes, that's the primary group that uses this software.

So will the police come knocking on my door if I launch a test scan to my Internet Bank site?

Curiosity.... must resist...

Probably you will just blend in with the other dozen or so such sweeps they get every day. Unless it's a large bank - then maybe tens of thousands.
