777 Permisions

[Fuad_1]

How we identify files with 777 permisions?

Thanks

ll|grep rwxrwxrwx

If you want to check more than one directory you will have to use find.

find path-to-search -perm a=rwx

There is a system setup guide link on that page that provides the needed commands and other useful and related information.

Hey;

Well, certainly can't beat Bill Hassell, but here's my favorite:

find ${path} -xdev -perm -0777 -print

If strictly looking for "files" with "777" perms, then:

find ${path} -type f -perm 777 -exec ll \+

While you are at it, look for files with 666 permissions too. 777 is almost always wrong for files since it sets the execute bit on files that are never to be executed. 666 is just as bad because anyone on the system can trash the contents of the file.

Hi,

If the file or directory is having full 777 permission its looks like this.

777 means rwx for user rwx or owner and rwx for others.
rwx means read write execute

The output would be like this
$ ls -l
-rwxrwxrwx 1 monitor users 282624 Oct 30 08:42 abc
drwxrwxrwx 2 monitor wipro 96 Oct 30 08:43 bbc

here abc is a file and bbc is a directory with 777 permissions
