Penetration Testing: Programming skills for Pen Testers

Programming skills for Pen Testers

ok we all know that in addition to good network, host and application
security skills, programming in C is a pre-requisite for a decent pen tester
or at least one who wants to write their own security tools or simply audit
the open source code they use. My question is, despite their similarities
should a pen tester be concentrating on C or C++ ? That's it!

Thanks.
