Ive found it valuable for identifying and addressing vulnerabilities in my code.

I am absolutely not an expert pen-tester, but know long the basics of how people break into systems is incredibly powerful.

This. It let my code/architecture fly through a PCI audit as if I had done 100 before.
Helps put the fear of 'eval' in their hearts.
Oh, you.
