Greets friendly FOO fighters
I am busy trying to run through an in depth look at Windows security and permissions
I think that windows 7 / 8 / 10 would all be very similar ?
Does anyone know where a listing of the DEFAULT folder and file permissions for Windows can be found ?
The longer I stay up and the more tired I become the more useless my Google searches become.
There are hundreds of posts about setting permissions back to default
BUT
I like -- MANUAL -- so would like to know WHAT the values of these default settings are ?
I found this
https://helgeklein.com/blog/2012/08/windows-7-default-file-system-permissions-listing/
I have NO idea what he means by -- "container_inherit+object_inherent+inherit_only"
I checked on a non-modified running machine whose entries do not look the same as the above ?
THIS is what I am used to ( with terminology I can understand )
https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/122666-permissions-allow-deny-users-groups.html
I understand all the workings of the "mechanics" but I need to know what the correct default permissions ( as set by M$ ) are -- in understandable jargon
I unfortunately do not have a newly installed system to check on

Code:
c:\Users
Owner: Administrators
DACL(protected+auto_inherited):
SYSTEM full allow container_inherit+object_inherit
Administrators full allow container_inherit+object_inherit
Users read_execute allow no_inheritance
Users read_execute allow container_inherit+object_inherit+inherit_only
Everyone read_execute allow no_inheritance
Everyone read_execute allow container_inherit+object_inherit+inherit_only
