What is a .DS_Store file used for?
A .DS_Store file is automatically generated by macOS Finder to preserve folder-specific settings such as icon placement, view preferences, and layout configuration. It helps maintain a consistent user experience when reopening directories.
Why analyze .DS_Store files in security testing?
In security assessments, these files can unintentionally expose directory structures, internal filenames, or hidden resource paths. Reviewing them may help identify forgotten assets, misconfigured directories, or sensitive references that are not visible through standard file enumeration techniques.
