Snippet from the man page for security: https://developer.apple.com/legacy/library/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/security.1.html https://developer.apple.com/legacy/library/documentation/Dar... >dump-keychain [-adhir] Dump the contents of one or more keychains. -a Dump access control list of items -d Dump (decrypted) data of items -i Interactive access control list editing mode -r Dump raw (encrypted) data of items I'm not at my Mac so can't test what it means by "dump decrypted", but I don't think it dumps all data in plain-text as the article suggested. I am curious if the keychain was unlocked when they did it for whatever reason. I still question why such an ability exists through terminal without more control, but it's not quite as described. edit: was very unclear I was posting a snippet of the actual command. fixed
