Specifying the password on the command line with `--password XXX` leaves the password itself visible to any process on the machine which can scan the process table. On some systems (including common GNU/Linux distributions) this visibility is possible by default. This change should make it possible to offer the password without putting it into the process table; rather, the user puts the password in the environment, and specifies the name of the environment variable, like so: ``` $ export MVT_IOS_BACKUP_PASSWORD=WronglySconeRoundnessUnruffled $ mvt-ios decrypt-backup -d /path/to/dest /path/to/data/XXXXXXXX-YYYYYYYYYYYYYYY/ $ unset MVT_IOS_BACKUP_PASSWORD ``` or you can do so using a prefixed env var, as described in the updated check.md documentation. |
