Can't Open JPG - Error interpreting JPEG image file

[steeldriver]

Have you tried looking at the first few bytes of the file to see if there's any recognisable header / exif info ? something like

xxd -l 64 somefile.jpg

It might give a clue as to what happened

Thanks ajgreeny, I had tried that too, but unfortunately no luck.

steedriver, I think you're on to something. It looks like they're encrypted with sophos. There are several rows of 4 digit numbers, with the following text to the far right.

Do you know of a good way to decrypt this on Ubuntu? I have the password they were encrpyted with but don't have Sophos on this computer.

Why didn't you say they had been encrypted?

My suggestion is to ask Sophos
