recrypt-config

$ littlesnitch recrypt-config --help
usage: littlesnitch recrypt-config [-h] [-c <current encryption key>] [-p <new
     encryption key>] [<config file path>, ...]
  -h, --help
        Print a short help and exit.
  -c, --current-password <current encryption key>
        Use this password for decrypting current configuration. Required if the
        daemon connection not available.
  -p, --password <new encryption key>
        Write out configuration files using this encryption key. Defaults to
        "none".

All files storing configuration data on disk are encrypted with a password stored in the macOS System Keychain. When our support needs a copy of a configuration file, it is useful to decrypt this particular file before transmission instead of sending your password along with the file in plain e-mail.

When run without any arguments, this command copies all configuration files to the current directory, changing their encryption password to “none”. The current password is read from the Keychain. You can customize this behavior by specifying a particular file, password or target password.

If the encryption password is passed explicitly with the -c option, this command works even if Little Snitch is broken or Terminal access has been denied in Settings > Security > Allow access via Terminal.
