- Overview
-
- Somarsoft DumpAcl is a Windows NT program that will dump the permissions
- and audit settings for the file system, registry and printers in a consise,
- readable listbox format, so that "holes" in system security are readily
- apparent. Somarsoft DumpAcl also dumps user/group info. Somarsoft DumpAcl is a
- must-have product for Windows NT systems administrators.
-
- Windows NT contains the mechanisms for providing strong system security,
- using permissions to control access to objects and auditing to log access.
- However, it can be very difficult to determine if all permissions and audit
- settings have been set correctly, since there are so many files and registry
- keys on the typical system. The situation is analogous to having a building
- with unbreakable locks on each of 10,000 doors. The problem is not with the
- locks themselves, but rather with one person walking around and checking that
- none of the 10,000 doors is unlocked.
-
- Somarsoft DumpAcl provides a solution to the problem of too many files and
- registry keys to check on a regular basis, by producing a consise and readable
- report of permissions and/or audit settings. By reviewing this report,
- you can determine if users have more access than you want to allow. You can
- then use file manager, registry editor or print manager to set permissions
- and audit settings differently.
