I've never seen a dmg file having iteration count different than 1000, but you could check that if the image has different parameters. I am very interested in the results as well since I have also fixed 1000 iterations.

I failed to anticipate this change in iteration count. My recent
attempts to debug this format were proving useless because I had
overlooked this (simple) fact.
> Bad news: The iterations count in my test files varies a little and it's not even numbers, but it's over 200,000 (how many SHA-1's is that per candidate, for a key length of 32? About 800,000 I think?). That's a good bump from 1000. At first this did not seem correct (still did not crack) but when I dumped the resulting plaintext I could see lots of consecutive zeros when the right key is used, so this is actually right. Over 200 times slower than older versions.

I am maintaining sample / test .dmg files at
https://github.com/kholia/VileFault/tree/master/tests
Can you please add "failing" test files in that repository?

My bad :(

Yes, I agree with you. I can work on writing this README file.
