Installing OSXFuse
iOS firmware files are in the IMG3 file format. To modify the ramdisk, the iPhone Data
Protection Tools include a FUSE file system that understands the IMG3 format. The latest
version of OSXFuse should be installed on your forensic workstation. OSXFuse extends
the native file handling capabilities of OS X and allows you to mount the file systems that
are not natively supported by OS X. You can download and install OSXFuse by executing
the commands shown or directly from the following link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/
osxfuse/files/osxfuse-2.6.2/osxfuse-2.6.2.dmg .
$sudo curl -O -L http://sourceforge.net/projects/osxfuse/
