Hint “they one and can’t separated”


Number 1 is the key to all of the answer, and also it is the easiest one i think. lol.
Well, number 1 is just reversed text. So, just read it from back to front.

So, number 1

Beware the ARPANET, my son; The bits that byte,

Interesting sentences. Google it and found that was ARPAWOCKY

Based on the hint, I assume that all the other 3 sentences should be based on this ARPAWOCKY.
So lets move on…

We can solve number 2 by observing the comma and how many chars in each word. After that, we compare it with ARPAWOCKY text, find the similar one.

FOUND! It is in the first sentence. But, is it true?
To validate my answer, I try using substitute cipher to decrypt it with the reference from the first sentence in ARPAWOCKY. Its true.

Number 2

Twas brillig, and the Protocols Did USER-SERVER in the wabe.

Number 3 is really easy. It is the second sentences. Some of its characters are just substitute with some special character.

Number 3

All mimsey was the FTP, And the RJE outgrabe,

And the last one, this one take me long time to figure it out. After reading the cipher many times, i realize that there are many “BE-TKAH” in this sentences. Google it and found NAVAJO Cipher. Decrypt it using online tools ( First index at google search )

Number 4

the heads that scratch

Easy. Haha.
