Hope this is the one I should be looking for? sub SidToString { return undef unless unpack("C", substr($_[0], 0, 1)) == 1;
return undef unless length($_[0]) == 8 + 4 * unpack("C", substr($_[0], 1, 1)); my $sid_str = "S-1-"; $sid_str .= (unpack("C", substr($_[0], 7, 1)) + (unpack("C", substr($_[0], 6, 1)) << 8) + (unpack("C", substr($_[0], 5, 1)) << 16) + (unpack("C",substr($_[0], 4, 1)) << 24)); for $loop (0 .. unpack("C", substr($_[0], 1, 1)) - 1) { $sid_str .= "-" . unpack("I", substr($_[0], 4 * $loop + 8, 4)); } return $sid_str; } The input to this will be a binary string right? Or can it be a base64 value?

U should be able to just copy those functions from the pm file into ur script and use them as normal. See lanman.pm.
