I know the guy who did most of the reverse engineering of the WRX ECU for Cobb and did the design for the original AccessPort. The methods used are not rocket science, some of the same hacks used to root other devices to load custom code are used with ECUs. There are plenty of smart guys who can do it given the time to do so. I do not think Ccolby stole code from anyone to get things figured out, but I do think he got help from those who had already done it....
