How to secure system in xbmc - sev7enHome - 2014-10-02

Hello ,

i wonder how i can secure my system folder in xbmcbuntu ? , any way to crypt or hash the content of setting.xml ?

Thank you

Why would you want to encrypt settings.XML? So the NSA doesn't get your skin settings? Also for the file to be useable it would need to be decrypted, so it would really only protect you when XBMC isn't running.

the xml files in addons can show the pass , example the plugin for youtube :

<setting id="user_password" value=“xxxxxx” />
<setting id="username" value=“xxxxxxxxxx" />

i share my connection with some friends and anyone can connect to that .... !! .

But how does sharing a (internet?) connection allow others to access files in your home directory?
