securing Raspbian SD-Card - raspberry-pi

I have a short Question related to Raspberrys but in applies in general to Linux systems.
Can I prevent someone from reading out the SD-Card of the Raspberry?
What do I mean: I can simply disable all login-posibilitys to prevent anyone from logging into the system. But if you unplug the SD-Card and mount it in another linux system, you still have full access to all files.
Is there any possibility besides glueing the SD-Card to the Pi?
I would be already greatfull for some keywords to google with ;)

some Linux distributions (e.g. Ubuntu) support full disk encryption, which you can activate during setup.
Since you have an Raspberry PI, I assume that you have already installed raspbian. Therefore you can search for raspbian home folder encryption for example.
You can also set access rights so only the Pi user can open them.

How do I make a raspberry pi raspbian application?

I am struggling on how to make a Raspberry Pi app for Raspbian (On a raspberry pi). I have searched and searched for hours but I still can't find out how to make one. There are apps that I can use but I cannot install them. Should I use python??... Please help me!!...
I found a few visual editors like XOJO, I am knew to "RASPBERRY PI" stuff.
It's just a bare machine you can cover it with anything you want. It's basically Lightweight Linux distro which we install mostly on the PI. Can support wide range of applications but IOT related products are more often developed using PI. If this is the case you can start here using android also.

Raspberry Pi wont remove OpenElec and Kodi

I have gotten a used Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (bought used).
I formatted the SD-Card and downloaded Raspbian Stretch Lite. When I turned on the Pi, somehow it opened Openelec with Kodi.
I tried it again and again. I went and tried to install NOOBS instead. Same thing happens. It opens OpenELEC and Kodi.
I have formatted the SD-Card using a Windows 10 PC. Triied it with the "Quick formating" option on and off. After formating, the SD-Card seems to be empty, as far as I can tell from Windows explorer.
Since I dont really need the GUI, it wouldnt be so bad when I could just use ssh to get a terminal and do the work I want to do. However, Openelec disabled basic things like apt-get. When I try it, the following message appears:
There is no working 'apt-get'.
'apt-get' is a command to install, update and remove software which
is stored in a non local repo. 'apt-get' does nothing then connecting to such
repo, downloads the software, unpacks the software, updates a big
local database with all filepaths and other informations about the
installed software or removes or updates installed Software.
With OpenELEC it is not possible to change the system for security and
stability reasons so even 'apt-get' would not be able to do this.
We also dont have and want to maintain such a repo for various other
great reasons.
Also Ubuntu or Debian packages are often outdated and not compatible
with OpenELEC
TIP: use XBMC's addon browser to enhance your OpenELEC system
I cant exmplain that behaviour. To my knowledge, the Pi should not have any type of internal storage. So I dont understand how the old OS can still be there after I format the SD-Card for the 5th time (no other data storage medium connected). Noobs and Raspbian shouldnt have anything to do with Kodi or Openelec so I do not undestand how it keeps coming up. I have tried to look for a solution online but couldnt find anything but how to install the software that I want to get rid of.
Does anybody know how I can remove Openelec and Kodi so that I can have a normal Raspbian distribution installed? Thanks in advance!
You formatted the microSD card on your PC and it still boots into Openelec? Did you write the Raspbian Lite image onto the card? It seems that you haven't actually modified the contents of the card.
I strongly recommend getting Etcher to write bootable images; you don't even have to decompress the downloaded image, Etcher will do that for you. Etcher is pretty smart at figuring out which media is your microSD card, but as always when working with tools that can overwrite disks be careful.

Installing windows OS on ISCSI sever or san storage using IPXE BOOT

Hi good people,
I'm trying to make a diskless PC client and install the operating system on a SAN Storage. As of now i'm using windows server 2012 R2 and it will serve as my DHCP/WDS and SAN server. So I found a video from yourtube on "Bjørn Jentoft" channel with the title "Hyper-V: Windows installation to ISCSI disk" I followed all the steps and configurations but it didn't quit work for me. But I keep repeating his video to look if I miss something on the configuration steps, but when I checked everything it appears that I didn't miss anything based on what he showed on the video tutorial. By the way he used HYPER-V on his tutorial and I'm using physical machines.
Thank you.

With RealVNC and a Raspberry Pi, how can I connect to the same session as the raspberry itself?

I have a Raspberry Pi with Raspbian Wheezy installed. I'm using TightVNC server on the Raspberry Pi and RealVNC on my MAC to connect to it. However, when I log in with RealVNC, I'm given a new session, with my own desktop, applications etc.
I want to login to the SAME session as the already running Raspberry, so I can refresh the browser etc (We're using this to display a company desktop application).
How can I achieve this?
I don't believe this is supported by TightVNC (which I think only does "Virtual" sessions). But I may be wrong...
The answer here: https://serverfault.com/questions/27044/how-to-vnc-into-an-existing-x-session suggests a few alternatives (at least ones which work on Fedora based Unix distros)
I know RealVNC can do it (it's known as "User Mode" or "Service Mode" as opposed to "Virtual Desktop" mode), but depending on your users, you may have to license it, or the free mode may suffice.

How to install OS through Pendrive

I had tried lot of methods to install Operating System in laptop..But isn't working..Could you please any one can suggest the easiest way for doing this..Thanks...?
Not sure what operating systems you're talking about but:
Unetbootin works wonders for linux distros (most of the time). It sets up a bootable live USB drive. Just choose a distro from a list or point to an ISO and you're good to go (you'll need an USB drive with at least 1gb).
