In reply to ROMSAT. This is incorrect too. From "man find":

-perm +mode

This is no longer supported (and has been deprecated since 2005). Use -perm /mode instead. The correct answer is : To find files with SUID, SGID and StickyBit set in Linux.

$ sudo find / -type f -perm -7000

To find directories with SUID, SGID and StickyBit set in Linux.

$ sudo find / -type d -perm -7000

The command to find files that have both SUID and SGID set would be with minus sign like so:

$ find . -perm -6000

and not with a slash sign like you recommend.

$ find . -perm /6000
