Totally agree with you. You got to know how to code or at least how to read
code.
Of course, we're talking about serious pen-testing, aren't we?
>>I think having some basic programming skills are a must when doing
pen-testing and other security work (e.g. looking at virus code, finding
systems changes, etc.). Over the years I have learned how to debug
code, decompile code, and even writing my own tools, because some of the
open source did not meet my requirements. I subscribe to developer
magazine and forums to learn. I even pay to have private one-on-one
classes with some of my commercial security tools developer friends to
learn more.

Jones................................ (and yes I have a life outside of
work ;)
WORD UP YO!
