Modern Encryption Issue

I'm on the last training under Modern Encryption training.

I'm getting this error:

─$ openssl enc -des-ede3-cbc -d -pbkdf2 -nosalt -in encrypted_file_3DES.enc -out DES3

enter des-ede3-cbc decryption password:

bad decrypt

139655774025024:error:06065064:digital envelope routines:EVP_DecryptFinal_ex:bad decrypt:../crypto/evp/evp_enc.c:610:

The key is in text file from previous steps. I'm on step #7.

I used the same syntax for decryption as earlier in this series. I tried various things, but still getting this error. I added the -a switch as well.

      Hey AlPatel​,


      Thank you for getting back to me. With any 'demonstrate' style labs, unfortunately we can't provide any specific guidance to help as the labs are designed to test your learning. The only thing I can do is to ask our Cyber Team to confirm if the machine in the lab is working correctly. Is this something you would like me to do for you?

    Hey AlPatel​ 

    I'm Chris, I work in the Customer Support Team at Immersive, lovely to connect with you 👋🏻.

    Can you confirm which lab it is you're having this issue on? You mentioned it's one of the labs in the "Modern Encryption" collection, can you let me know which specific lab it is and I'll be happy to review this for you?
