OK.. So we found the hash, therefor the guy is guilty..

And if we're facilitating a "quicker response", how do we reconcile that with
taking the time to identify a Metasploit that *has* been changed to be less
noisy?

"We found the hash, we didn't see any signs of a stock noisy Metasploit, and
it would have taken too long to look for a modified Metasploit version we've never
seen before, so the guy is guilty..."

I think that's *exactly* the situation that Jason is complaining about...
