I'm not going to get into if it's worth while to try to dictionary attack a.dmg, but it is quite possible, and actually it is far more viable than doing a brute force(which face it, is pointless as stated prior). How to Password-Protect Folders on Mac By Alexander Fox – Posted on Sep 11, 2018 Sep 11, 2018 in Mac Folders can’t be directly encrypted in macOS, but you can put them in password-protected containers. 2012-1-11 At the next screen you will set a password to access the folder – do not lose this password, you will not be able to open the disk image if you do; Optional: Uncheck the box next to “Remember password in keychain” – only do this if you’re the only user on the Mac, otherwise anyone can open the image without the password. Windows server 2012 iso image. You now have a Windows Server bootable ISO with VirtIO drivers intact to use with Custom ISO feature. To your Client Area and select your desired Cloud Server for which you want to install Windows Server via Custom ISO feature. Note: Before proceeding any further, you need to make sure that your ISO is uploaded somewhere so that you can download it to your Cloud Server via HTTP direct link. It's especially more realistic if you say know an average password length that your passwords usually are (say you usually use 6 character passwords, you can use a wordlist of just 6 letter words). Though this method would be nullified if you say mix words and numbers at random, or even just add random numbers behind simple words. Also remember these passwords are case sensitive, so if you always use lowercase passwords, there is another piece to narrow down the list. So basically if you generally use set length lowercase/uppercase/proper capitalized words only, then a dictionary attack would be a good possibility to try. Though if you normally use passwords that are like 8-16 numbers long with random capitalization and numbers (ie. A32xZED3w), well bruteforce would be your only option, and as stated, isn't actually an option. Metafilter had a Q&A on the subject a bit back, which showed a simple script could dictionary attack a.dmg file (Note if you do some searching there are a few apps that also automate this process, though this script is quite an easy and simple way to do it). Now yes this can take a while if you have a huge wordlist, but hey, leave it for a week or some, and hey you might just have your password (or hey, maybe less if its a real simple password). Remember the more you can narrow down your wordlist(which you would most likely do based upon your other passwords), the better the chances are at a quick recovery. The metafilter isn't coming up for some reason (site seems to be down), but the is. It is actually pretty basic, finding a good wordlist is up to you though. I did test this script out with a wordlist that I already had and I have to say this script does work, though for practicalness I created a.dmg with a password that wasn't too far down on my wordlist and so it easily opened the.dmg in a minute or so. ![]() Doing it to an unknown password will take much longer. I've had MacKrack chugging away at a.DMG with the password 'on' since 12:04PM (EST) and it STILL hasn't broken it. This is one a 2GHz Core Duo MBP with an assload of RAM. I'm not sure if this is taking longer (or failing) because I grabbed a much larger dictionary or what. The other one (dual 1.25GHz G4 MDD / assload RAM) is STILL working on 'weak', though it says '4m' to completion. I'm going to try some alternate attempts to crack a.DMG here shortly. Either way, thanks for pointing out that app. I've been using john up until this point. EDIT: screw it, it's been nearly 70 minutes and it couldn't break 'weak'. EDIT2: Well, it took 8 minutes to brute 'off' (non-dictionary attack), when I told it specifically that there was only alphabetics and only 3 characters. So at least I see it's possible with this app.
