I dont think it would be that hard if somebody wants to get the dll
software. They can always bribe an ADT isntaller a few thousand dollars to
get it if need beand if they are that desperate.

If the same program is used for every adt panel then it will be relatively
easy for a security expert to get it, isnt it.
