If they are done together (Pen test and Vul scan) then I think yes.
I'm not a pen tester though so it's just my opinion.

I imagine bin analysis could go on and on and on ....

Subject: Binary Analysis with Internal Solutions

Hello everyone,

A debate has been started in the office that I work in over
this question.

"Should binary analysis (i.e. reversing and fuzzing) be part of an internal
vulnerability and pen testing solution?"

There is mission critical custom in house software solutions
deployed here. My opinion is Yes, but others say it is a waste of resources
to go this deep into offensive security. Please send your comments, and
opinions so that I can either win/loose this debate.
