Soulseek folder lock12/29/2022 This is called sandboxing, here is a tutorial on how to set it up on Linux. So even if you click on malware the effects are limited (given that you do not download shit and run it as your regular user). This way if, for example, you click on a bad link and it takes you to a page that compromises your browser by exploiting some vulnerability in it, it will only have access to the files and folders the user you run your browser with has, which can be limited to only the files the browser needs to access, such as your Downloads folder and the browser config files, but nothing else. In fact, now that I've brought up the subject, you should be running Soulseek and every other application with internet access as its own user with limited file system access. Now just run Soulseek as slsk: sudo -u slsk soulseek-qt & Set yourself as the owner and slsk as the group: chown -R you:slsk parentĭone. Set the permission such that only the owner of the folder you do not want to share can read it: chmod u+r,g-r,o-r parent/child Set the file permissions on the folder you want to share such that owner and group (users belong to groups) can read it: chmod -R u+r,g+r parent Create a user for Soulseek and a group: useradd slsk -user-group slsk not with the user you log in your computer with).įile permissions can be set on Windows and I am pretty sure you can run something as a different user on Windows as well, but you'll have to look it up on how to do that. Notice that this only works if you run Soulseek with another user (i.e. The best way to do it, then, is to define file permissions for the folder you don't want to share such that the user you run Soulseek with cannot read it, whilst your regular user can. Of course the easiest way is to move the folder*, but you may not want to do that. I don't think you can do that through Soulseek, but it's perfectly feasible.
