Explanation
- Read the length. 208 hex characters = 64 × 3 + 16, i.e. N = 3 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 4 of Run 58 (seed 115,354,343):
new Random(115354343), Next(0,44) per post. The RNG predicts N = 3; the post has N = 3 ✓. The seed is the machine's uptime in ms when the app started (boot 2014-02-13 08:57–11:57). - Conclusion. Filler. Structure and count are explained; the GUIDs are presumed filler like every decrypted post before the cutover.
