You probably encountered the situation where you could not access a file, even as an administrator. For example hiberfil.sys.
There is a way in Windows to read any file regardless of DACLs: the backup privilege.
I updated ReactOS’ cmd.exe shell to use the backup privilege.
I added a new command: privilege. This command enables the backup privilege. To be able to enable a privilege, you need to have the privilege: you have the backup privilege if you’re an administrator and elevate the process (cmd.exe).
And I updated the copy and type command to make use of the enabled backup privilege.
Finally, there’s yet another new command: info. This command gives the MAC timestamps, file attributes and SDDL of the given file/folder.
