5. .DS_Store
In the Apple macOS operating system, .DS_Store is a file
that stores custom attributes of its containing folder, such
as the position of icons or the choice of a background
image. The name is an abbreviation of Desktop Services
Store, reflecting its purpose. It is created and maintained
by the Finder application in every folder, and has functions
similar to the file desktop.ini in Microsoft Windows.
Starting with a full stop (period) character, it is hidden in
Finder and many Unix utilities. Its internal structure is
proprietary
6. .DS_Store
• Service file .DS_Store is created automatically, when a directory is opened
• While, similar to Windows’ Thumbs.db .DS_Store keeps files’ thumbnails,
unlike Windows it also contains the names of files and directories
10. For example, applying this approach to the home directory
(~/.DS_Store), we could get back:
["Backups","Soft","Pictures",".ssh"...]
Then, following that up with ~/Backups/.DS_Store, we get:
["2017", "2016", "2015", …]
Next, we proceed to ~/Backups/2017/.DS_Store
["source", "sql", "static", …]
14. Accounts
Another good find is the information about the
system accounts:
• ~/Library/Accounts/Accounts4.sqlite
To top off the list, let’s also get the information
about other applications
• ~/Library/Application Support/
