This visualization demonstrates the recovery of a saved DBeaver password by decrypting the `credentials-config.json` file stored on MacOS. It shows the decrypted database credentials output as JSON, retrieved from the DBeaver workspace directory. The process uses OpenSSL’s AES-128-CBC decryption with a hardcoded key and initialization vector, then pipes the result through `dd` to skip the first 16 bytes and formats the remaining data with `jq`. The example relies on command-line tools rather than a visualization library.
