Explanation

  1. Read the length. 464 hex characters = 64 × 7 + 16, i.e. N = 7 GUIDs encrypted with 3DES plus one 8-byte padding block. Every post-cutover filler post has exactly this shape.
  2. 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.
  3. Explain the count. Grouped in feb2014c: two accounts, 3 + 6 values; shared stream negative, per-account streams unidentifiable (best strict hit Next(0,23), ~7 % chance, rejected)
  4. Conclusion. Filler. Structure and count are explained; the GUIDs are presumed filler like every decrypted post before the cutover.
