find / -perm 0777 -type d >> opendirs.txt
Creates a list of all “world-writable” folders on the server, meaning that anyone can edit or add to the contents of this folder. Permissions on folders that are public-facing (e.g. public_html/ and any of its subdirectories) should never be set to 777 if at all avoidable, as this creates numerous security risks. Once this is complete, you may view the opendirs.txt file that this script creates to determine where you may need to modify permissions to 0775 or lower.
