Find files/directories which are writable by others group

[ikbea]

Hi all,

How to list files/directories which are writable by "others" group ?
Thanks

[Arunvijai_4]

# find / -group other

-Arun

Sorry, "others" group mean e.g.

rwxrwxrwx
^
|
|-----"I want to find the files/directories with world writable"

Thanks

find /dir -type f -perm \(0002 -o -0020) -exec ll -d {} \;


find /dir -type d -perm \(0002 -o -0020) -exec ll -d {} \;

[Arunvijai_4]

# find / -perm -2 -group other (list only "other" group)
# find / -perm -2 (list only world writable)

# find / -local -perm -2 (Only Local FS)

-Arun

Correction with syntaxes.

find /dir -type f -perm \(0002 -o -0020\) -exec ll -d {} \;


find /dir -type d -perm \(0002 -o -0020\) -exec ll -d {} \;

You can also do as follows.

find /dir -type f -perm o+w -exec ll -d {} \;
find /dir -type d -perm o+w -exec ll -d {} \;

Hi,

These are security holes, find and remove them if not required.

Run:
For finding world writable files
-------------------------------------
find / -type f -perm -2 -exec ls -lg {} \;

For world writable directories:
----------------------------------
find / -type d -perm -2 -exec ls -ldg {} \;

[Muthukumar_5]

find . -group others -perm -0020 \( -type f -o -type d \) -exec ls -l {} \+

will do it.

It checks for,

a) group name with others
b) permission with group writable
c) File type
d) Or Directory

prints full information with ls -l {}

hth.
