Explanation
- 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.
- 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 129 of Run 60 (seed 19,858,187):
new Random(19858187), Next(0,50) per post. The RNG predicts N = 7; the post has N = 7 ✓. The seed is the machine's uptime in ms when the app started (boot 2014-03-12 08:29–10:29). - Conclusion. Filler. Structure and count are explained; the GUIDs are presumed filler like every decrypted post before the cutover.
