I would generally agree that anyone selling themselves as a pen-tester should be able to pass this -- but not at the exclusion of also being able to identify poor use of crypto, architectural failures or web application vulnerabilities. Maybe the dispute here is in understanding what the purpose of this certification is.
No, see, I'm saying something different --- I'm saying that people who sell themselves as pen-testers DO NOT need the skills this test looks for. Ability to FIND overflows is more valuable than the ability to EXPLOIT them. -- --- Thomas H.
