Mark,
Keep up the good work. I will be glad to help you in any way I can. I'm glad to see you going the extra mile on a case such as this. I've had good results with Visual Zip Password Recovery Processor. It allows you to import your FTK generated word lists.
It may be worth a try, I used it to crack 4 simple passwords in seconds.

It is a strange way of opening this file. When you try to open the zip file (double click etc) you are immediately presented with a password box. It is only when you put the password in that the normal zip window opens and the files contained within the zip file are presented. When you try to open any of the files displayed in the zip window you are asked for another password, in fact any operation on those files requires the password to be entered for anything to happen. All the files in the zip archive are passworded.

Thanks mate, already sorted.Have got the camera and sorted that with the illegal ones he has taken with it that I have recovered. That is one of my concerns. He has taken (obviously until convicted that is allegedly taken) Cat 1 with the camera and they are unprotected so what are the ones he has protected liable to be.

110 files in the archive, all show .jpg extension and all have the little asterix beside them to show encrypted just as you would expect really. they are the only ones in the archive. File name is in plain text.

Thanks for the kind comments and advice about the software. Will def give it a try next week when I am back at work.
Looks like it will be a case of charging on the thousands we have but at least I will get thechance to ask him the password. Once i have it I suppose it will be easier to figure out for future reference.
Many thanks to everyone for the advice. Will keep trying when I can between jobs etc and post any results if and when I get them.
I am a bit concerned as to why, with so many illegal in clear view, these are protected.
Yes - that's a valid concern. I'm glad you are persisting!

Should I even take a stab at this one or is this not the place for psychobabble?
Mark, we have DNA running on a network. If you want I can give it a try for you?
Andy
Cheers Andy. I have DNA but haven't tried it yet. i think the problem is the two passwords associated with the archive. just seems to confuse PRTK.
Am away on a job next week so a bit of travelling to do so will give you a ring at some stage Tuesday or wednesday and have a crack about it
