Well, hardware can be much nastier. Have something which destroys itself
when opened forcefully. Not really beyond the state of art today to do
such things, but it is costly. Of course, *really* good hardware hackers
can break that too, but I don't think there are too many of those.
OTOH, script-kiddies with debuggers and too much free time are a dime
a dozen.
