Dmg Password Or Is

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.

Dmg Password Or Is

OOPS Is there anyway to retrieve the information safely locked away in this file without the password or is it lost forever HELP PLEASE Thanks.

But I thought wouldnt hurt to throw it out here to see if anyone knew of a way.

Perhaps if you had 149 trillion years, you could crack the 128-bit AES and get your files back.

Its 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 lowercaseuppercaseproper 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.

Metafilter had a QA 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 page isnt coming up for some reason (site seems to be down), but the google cache 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 wasnt too far down on my wordlist and so it easily opened the.dmg in a minute or so.

Im just not to well informed on how to use it properly to attack a.DMG file.

Hell, I was proud that I compiled it into an executable properly.

Weak password to generate the hash, cracked in like less than a minute.

But lets face it.

Your average computer user has about enough self-sufficiency to wipe their own butt.

What hardware are you using That could be the difference between my times and yours EDIT: Also, sorry for being so snappy.

Im 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.

Im going to try some alternate attempts to crack a.DMG here shortly.

Either way, thanks for pointing out that app.

EDIT: screw it, its been nearly 70 minutes and it couldnt break weak.
