Upon a second thought, maybe padding the IV to 32 bytes with zeroes, and
reporting its size in the "hash" as 32, is actually correct for our
cracker?

The obvious bug is different output by dmg2john.c vs. dmg2john.py for
encrypted_keyblob_size = 64, where .py would replace 16 bytes that are
non-zero in the dmg file with zeroes.

Per the above, I am not so sure about dmg2john.c's handling of IV.

encrypted_keyblob_size other than 48 appears to be supported in the
cracker, as there are two checks like this:

                if (cur_salt->encrypted_keyblob_size == 48)
                        AES_set_decrypt_key(aes_key_, 128, &aes_decrypt_key);
                else
                        AES_set_decrypt_key(aes_key_, 128 * 2, &aes_decrypt_key);

I am not sure if my specific case is supported, though.

Since the cracker seems to only support one other value besides 48,
maybe an acceptable workaround would be to support only 48 and 64 in
dmg2john.py, and error out on anything else.  This is a much smaller
change from the current code.
