Input is processed only in the active browser tab's memory and is not sent to a ByteQuant server.
Unix Permission Calculator
Converts Unix permissions such as 755, 0644, or rwxr-xr-x, explains owner/group/other access, and flags world-writable or special-bit risk. It never changes server permissions.
Input and output are not stored. The optional usage counter keeps only tool identity and count, never content.
Output comes from disclosed rules or browser APIs and needs independent review before high-impact use.
A result in three steps
- 01
Enter octal or rwx notation.
- 02
Review the conversion and access matrix.
- 03
Verify file purpose and threat model before applying changes.
When is this tool useful?
- ✓ Preparing chmod commands
- ✓ Reviewing deployment file permissions
- ✓ Learning Linux permission notation
Automated output is a preliminary assessment. Do not use it alone for legal, financial, medical, or security-critical decisions.
