Ahh, I see. I'm not familiar with sed, so my eyes got to the part after 
"sed" and began bleeding, so I figured it had to be one of three things:

- Encrypted data
- Hardware crash
- Regex

same before and after RSA encryption" here.

(I'm not genuinely complaining about regexes. They can be very useful. They 
just tend to get real ugly real fast.)
