Delete Known Government-Linked Certificate Authorities in OS X
Delete Known Government-Linked Certificate Authorities in OSX
Inspired by http://zitseng.com/archives/7489
Deletes Known Government Controlled Root Certs from OSX 10.10
Also removes any user trust settings for each certificate
WARNINGS
- Do not run unless you understand what this is doing
- The CA system is broken by design - This is not a fix for that
- This is merely a band-aid for those interested or concerned about these root CAs
Usage
chmod +x delete_gov_roots.sh
./delete_gov_roots.sh
You'll be prompted for your password as root access is required to delete system-wide root certs.
