macOS Recovery Mode SSH Setup

This repository contains tools and scripts to enable SSH access in macOS Recovery Mode for remote system recovery and administration.

🚀 Quick Start

Automated Setup (Recommended)

In Recovery Mode, you typically run as root by default. Simply execute:

./qemu-img create -f qcow2 wxp.qcw 6G

Boot from Windows XP SP3 ISO into OS installation with

RedHat VirtIO Windows Installation floppy that provides drivers for VIOSTOR, NetKVM and optional WINNT.SIF for unattended install.Press F5 to select Windows XP HAL. Press F6 to install VIOSTOR driver

./qemu-system-i386 -nodefaults -rtc base=localtime \
-L ./qemu-7.2.0/pc-bios \
-M pc, accel-whpx, kernel-irqchip=off -m 512 -display sdl

Clean local IcloudDrive :

killall bird
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/CloudDocs/session

Copy headers to system includes (requires admin privileges)

sudo cp -r angle/include/* /usr/local/include/

Copy pkg-config files:

mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/
cp angle/egl.pc /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/

1.Enable Debugging in QEMU: Start QEMU with debugging options enabled. You can use the -s and -S options to start QEMU in a paused state and listen for a debugger connection:

qemu-system-x86_64 -s -S -hda your_image.img

2.Use GDB for Debugging: Connect to the QEMU instance using GDB. Open a new terminal and run:

gdb
target remote localhost:1234

3.Set Up WinDbg: If you prefer using WinDbg, you can set up a debugging session with QEMU. Follow these steps:

Upgrade installed packages

pacman -Suy --noconfirm

Install basic packets:

pacman -Sy --noconfirm --needed base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc git mingw-w64-x86_64-meson rsync

Repair Permissions and run:

sudo kextcache -v 1 -a i386 -a x86_64 -m /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/ /System/Library/Extensions

-v 1 - Verbose output level 1

-a i386 -a x86_64 - Build caches for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures
