Nov 09, 2011 Hi Guys, I wanted to mount an encrypted AES 128-bit dmg file on my Linux machine. I know how to successfully mount unencrypted dmgs, all I have to do Mount an Encrypted DMG in Ubuntu or Linux in General. Actually, there is Java application hfsexplorer that is able to open encrypted.dmg files and creates decrypted.dmg images which can be mounted in Linux. I was able to create encrypted.dmg files in OS X 10.9.5 and then explore the image from a virtual machine running Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS. Both AES-128 and AES-256 encryption worked for my test.
Open DMG File on Linux
DMG files use Hierarchical File System (HFS) as a disk file system format. In order for your Linux machine to open DMG files it needs to support HFS and HFS+. To enable HFS and HFS+ support on your Linux machine you will need to install HFS tools and kernel modules.
Ubuntu
Below are instructions on how to install HFS and HFS+ and mount HFS+ drive on Ubuntu.
Osx 10.7 dmg. 1) Install hfsprogs which enables operation with HFS and HFS+ on Linux via ports of mkfs and fsck.
sudo apt-get install hfsprogs
2) Mount or remount the HFS+ drive
sudo mount -t hfsplus -o force,rw /dev/sdXY /media/mntpoint
or
sudo mount -t hfsplus -o remount,force,rw /mount/point
Imgburn dmg to iso. 3) If the drive is partially corrupted or was unmounted with an error run:
Dmg productions reviews.
sudo fsck.hfsplus -f /dev/sdXY
CentOS
How To Mount Dmg File
Below are instructions on how to mount HFS or HFS+ in CentOS:
1) Install hfs kernel modules and hfs+ tools:
![Dmg Dmg](/uploads/1/3/3/8/133862918/185088272.png)
yum install kmod-hfs
yum install hfsplus-tools
2) Mount or remount the HFS+ drive
sudo mount -t hfsplus -o force,rw /dev/sdXY /media/mntpoint
or
sudo mount -t hfsplus -o remount,force,rw /mount/point
3) If the drive is partially corrupted or was unmounted with an error run:
sudo fsck.hfsplus -f /dev/sdXY
With HFS and HFS+ enabled you are ready to mount your DMG file.
Following DMG partitioning schemes were tested to work with instructions below:
- Apple Partition Map
- CD/DVD (partitioned)
- CD/DVD (partitioned) with ISO data
- Hard disk
- Master Boot Record Partition Map
- No partition map
Below is a command to mount an image.dmg file using hfsplus file system:
Linux Dmg To Iso
![Dmg Dmg](/uploads/1/3/3/8/133862918/307194455.jpg)
sudo mount -t hfsplus image.dmg /mnt
Here -t hfsplus tells mount command to mount with HFS+ file system. The /mnt specifies a path to where the image will be mounted.
Mount Encrypted Dmg Linux
To unmount following command is needed:
Linux Open Dmg File
sudo mount -t hfsplus image.dmg /mnt
