Reversing ordinary client software is table stakes, sure. I'm not so sure about reversing client software which has a deliberately hidden backdoor. (You can hide a backdoor in source code too, of course, but I think it's easier to hide one in a binary because you could e.g. ensure that a buffer overflow overwrites cryptographic keys, where a C compiler would have the freedom to change the memory layout.)
