If you put sensitive info that you don't want end-users to see on
end-user machines, they don't have to "steal" it, you already gave
it to them.
And why would they need access to the console if they can log in
remotely?

Anyone modifying the code can simply see what the hash is on
unmodified code and then modify the code to always send that. Or
they can modify the code to do the hash on an unmodified copy which
is never run.

You can't. Remember, if the user can view your code on a display,
then someone can aim a webcam at that display and send it anywhere.
You could try using a tamper-proof smart card, but I don't know of any
of those with a graphical display or with networking capabilities.
