This video shows you how to perform the equivalent of the chmod 400 command using powershell on Windows 10.

Chmod stands for change mode. It is a unix command, and is not available on windows. This command allows you to restrict access to files. Chmod 400 changes a file's permission to be read only. • So how do we do the equivalent of this chmod 400 on windows. • First, open a powershell window in the same folder that contains the file whose permissions you would like to change. In this example, I have a file named key.pem, and I would like to edit its permissions. • Then type icacls.exe, which is the program that we are going to use to edit these permissions. And then we say the name of the file to edit, followed by /reset. This will replace the file's access control list with the default. • And then we type icacls.exe and the file name once again, followed by /grant:r so that we can replace all of the previously granted explicit permissions. • And then we pass this argument at the end $($env:username):(r) . This will grant the currently logged in user, read permissions on the file. • And then we say icacls.exe and the file name one last time, followed by /inheritance:r to remove all the inherited access control entities. • And that's it. The permissions have now been changed. This file now has similar restrictions as if chmod 400 was applied to it. • • Twitter: / choobtorials • • #SSH #NetworkSecurity #CloudComputing
