About this artifact

The cluster's payloads are OpenSSL symmetric encryptions: base64 blobs starting 'U2FsdGVkX1' (the base64 of 'Salted__', OpenSSL's salted-encryption header). Without the passphrase the content is unrecoverable.

How it was stored

A normal pay-to-public-key-hash output contains a 20-byte public-key hash. A data uploader can put arbitrary 20-byte chunks in that field instead. To the network it looks like many ordinary-looking outputs, but the “addresses” are fake because nobody knows a private key whose public key hashes to those bytes.
