Task 141: .DMG File Format
Task 141: .DMG File Format
File Format Specifications for the .DMG File Format
The .DMG file format, also known as Apple Disk Image, serves as a container for disk images on macOS systems. It supports features such as compression, encryption, and partitioning, encapsulating file systems like HFS+ or APFS. The format lacks a single rigid specification but is based on the Universal Disk Image Format (UDIF). Key structural elements include a trailer header (koly block), an XML property list, and block descriptors (blkx/mish blocks) that define data chunks with optional compression or encryption. All multi-byte fields are stored in big-endian order.
- List of Properties Intrinsic to the .DMG File Format and Its File System
The properties listed below are derived from the core structures of the .DMG format, including the UDIFResourceFile (koly trailer), the XML property list, and the BLKXTable (mish blocks). These encompass container-level attributes, partition details, compression schemes, and file system indicators. Properties related to the embedded file system include partition types (e.g., HFS+), sector allocations, and total image size when mounted. Encryption properties are included if present, though they require password handling for full decoding.
From UDIFResourceFile (koly trailer, 512 bytes at file end):
- Signature: 4-byte magic value ('koly').
- Version: Unsigned 32-bit integer (typically 4).
- HeaderSize: Unsigned 32-bit integer (always 512).
- Flags: Unsigned 32-bit integer (bit flags for format options).
- RunningDataForkOffset: Unsigned 64-bit integer.
- DataForkOffset: Unsigned 64-bit integer (start of main data).
- DataForkLength: Unsigned 64-bit integer (size of main data).
- RsrcForkOffset: Unsigned 64-bit integer (resource fork start, if any).
- RsrcForkLength: Unsigned 64-bit integer (resource fork size, if any).
- SegmentNumber: Unsigned 32-bit integer (for multi-segment images).
- SegmentCount: Unsigned 32-bit integer (total segments).
- SegmentID: 16-byte UUID (segment identifier).
- DataChecksumType: Unsigned 32-bit integer (checksum algorithm for data fork).
- DataChecksumSize: Unsigned 32-bit integer (checksum bit length).
- DataChecksum: 128-byte array (checksum values).
- XMLOffset: Unsigned 64-bit integer (offset to XML plist).
- XMLLength: Unsigned 64-bit integer (length of XML plist).
- Reserved1: 120-byte reserved array (zero-filled).
- ChecksumType: Unsigned 32-bit integer (master checksum algorithm).
- ChecksumSize: Unsigned 32-bit integer (master checksum bit length).
- Checksum: 128-byte array (master checksum values).
- ImageVariant: Unsigned 32-bit integer (image type indicator).
- SectorCount: Unsigned 64-bit integer (total sectors in expanded image; intrinsic to file system size).
- Reserved2: Unsigned 32-bit integer (zero).
- Reserved3: Unsigned 32-bit integer (zero).
- Reserved4: Unsigned 32-bit integer (zero).
From XML Property List (at XMLOffset, length XMLLength):
- ResourceForkKeys: Dictionary keys (e.g., 'blkx' for blocks, 'plst' for additional data).
- For each 'blkx' entry (array of dictionaries, representing partitions):
- Attributes: Unsigned 32-bit integer (partition attributes).
- CFName: String (file system type, e.g., 'Apple_HFS' or 'Apple_partition_map'; intrinsic to embedded file system).
- ID: Signed 32-bit integer (partition identifier).
- Name: String (partition name).
From BLKXTable (mish block, base64-decoded from blkx 'Data' field):
- Signature: 4-byte magic value ('mish').
- Version: Unsigned 32-bit integer (typically 1).
- SectorNumber: Unsigned 64-bit integer (starting sector for this partition; intrinsic to file system layout).
- SectorCount: Unsigned 64-bit integer (sector count for this partition; intrinsic to file system size).
- DataOffset: Unsigned 64-bit integer (data start offset).
- BuffersNeeded: Unsigned 32-bit integer.
- BlockDescriptors: Unsigned 32-bit integer (number of descriptors).
- Reserved1 to Reserved6: Six unsigned 32-bit integers (zero-filled).
- ChecksumType: Unsigned 32-bit integer (checksum algorithm for block).
- ChecksumSize: Unsigned 32-bit integer (checksum bit length).
- Checksum: 128-byte array (block checksum).
- NumberOfBlockChunks: Unsigned 32-bit integer (number of data chunks).
For each BLKXChunkEntry (following BLKXTable, variable count):
- EntryType: Unsigned 32-bit integer (compression/encryption type; intrinsic to data handling: 0=ignore, 1=ADC compressed, 2=ignore, 0x7FFFFFFE=old zlib, 0x80000004=unknown, 0x80000005=zlib, 0x80000006=bzip2, 0x80000007=lzfse, 0xFFFFFFFF=end).
- Comment: Unsigned 32-bit integer.
- SectorNumber: Unsigned 64-bit integer (chunk sector start).
- SectorCount: Unsigned 64-bit integer (chunk sector count).
- CompressedOffset: Unsigned 64-bit integer (offset to compressed data).
- CompressedLength: Unsigned 64-bit integer (length of compressed data).
Encryption Properties (if present, prefixed to data fork; intrinsic to security features):
- EncryptionVersion: Integer (1 for pre-10.5, 2 for 10.5+).
- EncryptionHeader: Variable structure (includes IV size, key derivation details, AES mode; requires password for decryption).
These properties define the container's structure and the embedded file system's layout, including partitioning and data integrity mechanisms.

- Ghost Blog Embedded HTML/JavaScript for Drag-and-Drop .DMG Property Dump
The following HTML code can be embedded in a Ghost blog post. It creates a drag-and-drop area where users can upload a .DMG file. The JavaScript parses the file (assuming non-encrypted for simplicity), extracts all properties listed above, and displays them on the screen in a structured text format.
