Secure Data Storage and Transmission Lab 1.2 Guided Exercise doesn't work

See screenshot below of the issue I am facing. In Question 2 of the lab, it asks what does the xxd return. It actually doesn’t return anything and its not supposed to as its now searching for plain text in a encrypted file. It even says this in the instructions (ie it finds nothing). I have no idea what the answer should be for this. I’ve literally copied and pasted the commands to execute to get this far as well.

Please help.

This appears to be an error. I will check with the team and get back to you.

I have changed Question 2. Please retry.
