The other keys were 56, 66, 115, 155, 156, 230, 237. I honestly think whoever did this thought the "384" in 384-bit meant they had to choose numbers between 0-384.

There's only a ~1 in 17 chance that they'd all be below 256 if 384 was the limit. My money is on accidentally generating a 1-byte random number.

I’m betting the full number was generated, but someone biffed the code and only grabbed the first byte.

That's a 4% chance. (2/3)^8
