RockLock Plugin

[motionman95]

I'm making a plugin for RockBox, called RockLock (lol) and it will lock your Rockbox with a 4-digit number. To unlock it, you have to input the 4-digit number. Currently it is about 90% finished. When it is, I'll be sure to upload it here. If you have any suggestions for features, post them here!

Edit: Not limited to the C200s anymore, it will work will all players!

How is this plugin going to work? Reason I ask is would turning it off and on bypass it.

It'll run on start up, or every time you select it from the Applications menu in Plugins. I'll probably have to release it as a patch (with the .rock file available), because of the fact that it modifies the main.c file to auto start (it uses the AUTOROCK feature). It's not finished yet, although it works except I haven't finished the "Change Password" feature yet, which means it has a static password currently. When it starts it gives you a menu that looks like this:

RockLock
Unlock
Change Password

When you click on unlock, it displays the message "Enter your 4-digit code:" and allows you to use the Up, Down, and Select buttons to enter the code. Also, if you plug-in the USB cord it won't go into USB mode unless you enter the 4-digit code first.

Here it is. The default password is 0000, until you change it.

As a reminder, you must also post the source code, as per the GPL.

[motionman95]

Sure. When I get back to my home PC I'll post it!

and what happens if you forget your password?..does Rockbox then become useless? I'm trying to understand why you would want to 'lock' Rockbox?

You could just change it in USB mode. I think if you boot up holding REC it'll also be disabled.

@saratoga: That's a good idea, especially if it works. But I guess I should also implement some kind of backdoor, and I thought of this: that the current time could also be the password. Like if it was 1:20 AM, the password would be 0120. Does that sound good?

I saw that you deleted the source code. That means you have to take down the link in this thread too, since you can no longer satisfy the license.
