Program to Convert SDDL Security Descriptors Into Human Readable Form?

[Will]

Is there a utility that takes converts the very hard to read security
descriptor format SDDL and converts it to a human readable format? For
example, you can look at the DACL on the Windows Firewall service with the
command:

sc sdshow SharedAccess

This gives the human unfriendly output (for example):

DDCCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWONU)(ACCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWOBA)(ACCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRCAU)(ACCLCSWLOCRRCIU)(ACCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWOSY)

I would like to find a utility that I could feed the above string to as
input and have it output a parsed and easier to understand version to the
DACL.
