The phrase brain dump refers to the transfer of a large quantity of information from one person to another or to a piece of paper. As slang, it can describe a hurried explanation of a system, job, skillset, or other software engineering subject.
In computing, the phrase describes the taking of a snapshot of the internal state of a knowledge database for transfer or archiving purposes. Thus, the copying of any dataset might be called a 'brain dump' if its contents could be colloquially referred to as a 'brain.'
In exams
Colloquially, braindumps referred to confidential information relating to examinations that were obtained by examinees by memorizing and then "dumping" (recording) them after the examination ends (mainly because no material might be brought out from examination rooms).
