Explanation
- Read the length. 336 hex characters = 64 × 5 + 16, i.e. N = 5 GUIDs encrypted with 3DES plus one 8-byte padding block. Every post-cutover filler post has exactly this shape.
- Key unknown. The post-cutover key (2013-10-16 onwards) has not been found, so the GUIDs themselves cannot be read. Everything else about the post is accounted for.
- Explain the count. This post is draw 22 of Run 57 (seed 758,305,750):
new Random(758305750), Next(0,44) per post. The RNG predicts N = 5; the post has N = 5 ✓. The seed is the machine's uptime in ms when the app started (boot 2014-01-30 00:36–04:36). - Conclusion. Filler. Structure and count are explained; the GUIDs are presumed filler like every decrypted post before the cutover.
