> your ability to take control effectively depends only on your willingness to discover and explore. This should be the limiting factor, and this is often the case when a product was designed sensibly and the interface just wasn't documented. Reverse engineering a device like this is relatively straightforward. But more often, companies deliberately obfuscate, encrypt, or booby-trap their interfaces in order to actively prevent reverse engineering, and this is the reason for the frustration you're seeing in the other comments.
