What is SD Edit?

SD Edit

SD Edit is a cool open-source program that really helps you take control of security descriptors on your Windows NT system. Since the days of Windows NT, Microsoft has used these security descriptors to manage who can access what on your computer. This means they are super important for keeping your files and data safe!

Understanding Security Descriptors

When Windows NT first came out, it introduced a basic version of security descriptors in its 3.1 release, but it wasn't very powerful. Things got a little better with Windows 2000, but still not enough. That’s where SD Edit comes in!
