Hi,
try recompinling a "XAMPP" with only the options you need.
The "unsecure" thing with XAMPP is that it contains alot of Software that is not always up to date.
Sure Apache/MySQL/PHP etc is but the rest not.
Do you need the rest? What happens, if there is a securoty problem with another Software thats included in XAMPP and though this an attacker gains root privs on your machine?
The is no way to secure XAMPP really. Only by doing it all by hand and keeping everything up to date.
So long
KriS
