Mac OS X APFS Encrypted Volume Password Disclosure
Description
This module exploits a flaw in OSX 10.13 through 10.13.3 that discloses the passwords of encrypted APFS volumes. In OSX a normal user can use the 'log' command to view the system logs. In OSX 10.13 to 10.13.2 when a user creates an encrypted APFS volume the password is visible in plaintext within these logs.

Module Options
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
