A live Linux and Unix permission calculator that converts octal, symbolic, and binary formats while building chmod commands.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-30 issue.

Field notes

The interface synchronizes permission checkboxes with octal, symbolic, and binary representations, then exposes a copyable terminal command. It handles the special-bits digit—setuid, setgid, and sticky—as well as umask-derived defaults, and offers presets ranging from read-only 444 to deliberately dangerous world-writable 777. Supporting guides and FAQs cover practical cases such as SSH keys, credential files, directories, and the difference between file and directory permissions.
