Recently I wanted a tool that could convert a SID in SDDL format (such as S-1-5-20) into a Windows account name. I'm sure there must be a lot of utilities out there to do this, but I couldn't find one. So I wrote one.
You can download it here.
It's really just 2 lines of C# code, like so...
SecurityIdentifier sid = new SecurityIdentifier(sddlFormatSidString);
NTAccount ntac = (NTAccount)sid.Translate(typeof(NTAccount));
