Exam 312-38 Topic 6 Question 323 Discussion

Actual exam question for EC-COUNCIL's 312-38 exam
Question #: 323
Topic #: 6
Henry, head of network security at Gentech, has discovered a general report template that someone has reserved only for the CEO. Since the file has to be editable, viewable, and deletable by everyone, what permission value should he set?

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

To allow a file to be editable, viewable, and deletable by everyone, Henry needs to set the file permissions to the most permissive value. In Linux and Unix systems, file permissions are represented by three sets of three bits, each set representing permissions for the owner, the group, and others.
The permission value of 777 means:
* The first digit (7) grants read (4), write (2), and execute (1) permissions to the owner.
* The second digit (7) grants read, write, and execute permissions to the group.
* The third digit (7) grants read, write, and execute permissions to others.
Setting the permissions to 777 ensures that everyone (owner, group, and others) can read, write, and execute the file. This aligns with the requirement for the file to be editable, viewable, and deletable by everyone.
