Kevin, what Terry isnt saying it but my understanding is that the code in encrypted on there and they are somehow unencrypting it. Its not as simple as running your PT under the loop and getting a # out of the software. Its probably more along the lines of hacking the PT.

It is probably along the lines of an RFID hack (those badges you use to scan into a building). There are readers that can steal the signal and then clone it to break into buildings, etc. Im guessing it is the same basic concept.
