Unencrypted

Version 6.0.1 adds support for unencrypted disks to Disk Decipher. This allows Disk Decipher to read (and write) disk images that are not encrypted.

Common examples are DMG and sparse bundle/image files, but this applies to any raw disk image using a supported layout and filesystem.

How to use

For DMG and sparse bundle/image files it is best to use their designated file extension (.dmg, .sparsebundle, .sparseimage).

For other disk images, using the .vol file extension is preferred. This way, expensive (time-consuming) format detections like VeraCrypt are skipped, which is convenient as Disk Decipher tries to mount the disk image unencrypted as last resort.

It is not necessary to specify a password on mounting an unencrypted disk: just leave the password field blank and tap/click the Mount button.

Testing

If you want to experiment with this feature, just make a new image with Disk Utility, or a commandline like

$ hdiutil create -size 100m -fs FAT32 -volname MyDisk mydisk
