The file contains binary text. There are serveral websites such as http://www.binaryhexconverter.com/binary-to-ascii-text-converter that can convert binary text to ascii. A better way though is to use python:
>```python
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
import binascii
for file in sys.argv[1:]:
# open file
with open (file, "r") as myfile:
data=myfile.read().replace('\n', '')
print "### ", file , " convert binary to ascii ###"
n = int(data, 2)
print binascii.unhexlify('%x' % n)

flat{People always make the best exploits.} I've never found it hard to hack most people. If you listen to them, watch them, their vulnerabilities are like a neon sign screwed into their heads.

Also notice the flag has a typo as "flat".
