Explanation
- Read the length. 272 hex characters = 64 × 4 + 16, i.e. N = 4 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 27 of Run 59 (seed 1,704,050,750):
new Random(1704050750), Next(0,36) per post. The RNG predicts N = 4; the post has N = 4 ✓. The seed is the machine's uptime in ms when the app started (boot 2014-02-13 08:39–12:39). - Conclusion. Filler. Structure and count are explained; the GUIDs are presumed filler like every decrypted post before the cutover.
