Hello,
Ah, thanks. How did you ever get the idea to hardcode that!?

At that time, all of the dmg files I tried had 1000 iterations. Since I
used vilefault as a starting point, I noticed it is a hardcoded constant
there. Not very wise I admit. BTW what version of OSX are you using to
generate the dmgs?

This doesn't sound good. That many iterations don't render even GPU attacks
very practical :( The good news is that consecutive zeros. In that case
though checks would be done for data in the last two sectors. Could you
post the decrypted final 3-4 blocks of the dmg file?

Isn't the v1/v2 check performed on host? The GPU part should be the same
for both. Unless of course you do the key unwrap on the GPU.

My problem with dmg is that I don't have access to Apple machines so all
the inputs I have are several sample files (from vilefault project, from
JtR, from CMIYK contest and several others people sent to me in the past).
All of them had the same well known structure (and the 1000 iterations). So
I guess the iterations thing changed in some recent OSX version. Hopefully,
the layout of the image did not change though as it would require a lot of
additional work.
