During this research I have analyzed the newest file system of VMware on bitlevel which is called Virtual Machine File System version 5 (VMFS-5). The purpose of this research concerned a review of the structure of VMFS. This structure can be used for other purposes like data reconstruction. Due to the lack of publically available documentation the research compromised of reverse-engineering the VM file system. In my research I have analyzed 5 system files of the VMFS which contain allocation registers. The VMFS file system registers the allocation condition of the available data resources in these system files.
