I'm up for the challenge. Got 20+ years of programming experience and an MSCIS. Stenography and keys may be beyond me, too, but I'm always willing to dig in and learn something new.
I've been wondering whether a deep dive into the q drops might be in order. If we're expected to figure this out on our own, I can't imagine they'd ask us to do anything that is totally beyond us. There's got to be a hint or a clue somewhere as to how to proceed. From what I've been reading about stenography, it doesn't seem likely that we could guess the key just by looking at bits and bytes.

How are your Perl skills? I think one key to this will be to create a custom word list, using data from Q's posts (words, stringers, filenames).
I have no experience with Perl, unfortunately.
Thanks for the reply. I can do Perl, but am not very good at it. Takes me a long time to setup a parsing script.
