## Write-up

I uploaded the file to wiremask's XOR cracker, and the website suggested the key was most likely 12 lengths long, and its best guess to the key was "J $+na ?ine"

Using some Google-fu, we found the IMDB page of Ancient Secrets of the Kama Sutra, which turned out to be a 1997 porn video. In the cast, we found someone billed as "Jeanna Fine".

We plugged her name in as the key to decrypt the file, and it worked.

The flag turned out to be her name: Jeanna Fine.
