  2. How to Find Files with SUID Set in Linux
  3. How to Find Files with SGID Set in Linux

In this tutorial, we will explain auxiliary file permissions, commonly referred to as “special permissions” in Linux, and also we will show you how to find files which have SUID (Setuid) and SGID (Setgid) set.

What is SUID and SGID?

SUID is a special file permission for executable files which enables other users to run the file with effective permissions of the file owner. Instead of the normal x which represents execute permissions, you will see an s (to indicate SUID) special permission for the user.

SGID is a special file permission that also applies to executable files and enables other users to inherit the effective GID of file group owner. Likewise, rather than the usual x which represents execute permissions, you will see an s (to indicate SGID) special permission for group user.

Let’s look at how to find files which have SUID and SGID set using the find command.

The syntax is as follows:

$ find directory -perm /permissions

Important: Certain directories (such as /etc, /bin, /sbin etc.) or files require root privileges in order to be accessed or listed, if you are managing your system as a normal user, use the sudo command to gain root privileges.

How to Find Files with SUID Set in Linux

$ find . -perm /4000
