I am trying to open a Windows Permissions dialog for Named Pipes.
I saw that Process Hacker does it like that on \Device\NamedPipe\InitShutdown
:
I used this answer on named pipe but it only works for file paths.
The code (see down below), failed when running:
hr = SHILCreateFromPath(Path.GetDirectoryName(path), out folderPidl, IntPtr.Zero);
The function throws an exception:
The network path was not found
I supposed I need to find a way to generate folderPidl
(PIDL
) from a named pipe but I am not sure how to do it.
Notice that I can get the named pipe permissions through the NtObjectManager library so this is not the problem, I am searching for a way to do it with the Windows permissions dialog.
PS C:\Users\eviatar> $a=Get-NtFile("\Device\NamedPipe\InitShutdown")
PS C:\Users\eviatar> $a
Handle Name NtTypeName Inherit ProtectFromClose
------ ---- ---------- ------- ----------------
3276 InitShutdown File False False

Allowed Everyone None 0012019B

The code:
// Program.cs
string path = @"\\.\pipe\InitShutdown";
//path = @"\Device\NamedPipe\InitShutdown";
//path = @"C:\tmp";
PermissionDialog.Show(IntPtr.Zero, path);
