Whoever made this flag aught to be slapped straight across the face. The numbers they chose makes it almost impossible to get the ■■■■ thing into a format that you can use utilities with. And doing it by hand doesn’t work either because the “key” message cannot be decoded using the normal format. The way you’d normally do it doesn’t work so you have to use a different method that does encrypt and decrypt messages but upon attemping it doesn’t work.
If anyone ought to be slapped across the face it is you and your stupid comment. All the formats used in this challenge are standard and made sense, except perhaps the encrypted flag could also have been encoded in base64 or hex. But that’s easy to work around. Nice challenge @R4J
