Program to Convert SDDL Security Descriptors Into Human Readable Form?

[Guest Will]

Is there a utility that takes converts the very hard to read security

descriptor format SDDL and converts it to a human readable format? For

example, you can look at the DACL on the Windows Firewall service with the

command:

 

sc sdshow SharedAccess

 

This gives the human unfriendly output (for example):

 

D:(D;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;NU)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;AU)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;IU)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;SY)

 

I would like to find a utility that I could feed the above string to as

input and have it output a parsed and easier to understand version to the

DACL.
