          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.
