## Solution

Since this seems to be a steg problem, we open it in a hex editor. I used HxD. Scroll to the bottom of the file, and we see lots of "not suspicious" strings, as well as PK's (50 4B). PK is a zip file. We find the first instance of "PK" in the plaintext, and copy everything from there. We take the copied text and make it into a zip file. Looking into our new zip file, we see a "not suspicious" folder filled with .SHORT.OUT files, from 1-25. There also is a "whatAFineKeyThisIs" file. This seems like something, so we look into it.
