If the system has a state where the hardware reliably doesn't self-destruct, then that state can be replicated. From there probing can handle extracting the information needed and presumably some sort of interpreting of the information would be required to make it workable. Now I think this process has to be possible for any system (a reliable deterministic state has to be able to be replicated unless I am really missing something) but there a lot of ways to make replicating this process very difficult and unlikely to the point where I can't imagine anyone actually doing it, but it still is theoretically possible for someone to break it.
