I have the exact same issue, and therefore cannot complete the follow up tasks.
I have the same issue. The copy/paste of the key has a strange behavior and when I decode it I don’t get the same key I created at the beginning (step 3)!
Hey there - I’ve just tested this lab and it seems to be working correctly. I would be sure that you’re copy/pasting the complete message body, with no additional characters or spaces, and entering all of the commands exactly as they appear in the lab guide (referencing screenshots where provided).

base64 -d keyforjohn.base64 > keyfromcybrary.key
you put ‘base64 -d keyforjohn.base64 > keyfromcybrary.enc’ !!! why .enc !!!
I didn’t use the command “base64 -d keyforjohn.base64 > keyfromcybrary.enc”
Are you referring to base64 -d message.base64 > message.enc? This step decodes the encrypted message.

The lab steps all work as written. I know that if you copy so much as one extra space, or leave out even one single character when echoing into the required files, it will cause the lab to fail.
