Found an email completely in binary, took quite a bit of time to input it into a translator.

And when translated I get this
T25jZSB1cG9uIGEgbWlkbmlnaHQgZHJlYXJlYXJ5LCB3aGlsZSBJIHBvbmRlcmVkLCB3ZWFrIGFuZCB3ZWFyeSwKT3ZlciBtYW55IGEgcXVhaW50IGFuZCBjdXJp

this is base64 encoded, and by decoding it you get

Over many a quaint and cur

translated into: ICAgIEFoLCBkaXN0aW5jdGx5IEkgcmVtZW1iZXIgaXQgd2FzIGluIHRoZSBibGVhayBEZWNlbWJlcjsKQW5kIGVhY2ggc2VwYXJhdGUgZHlpbmcgZW1iZXIg

which, again, is encoded in base64, and translates to:

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December;
And each separate dying ember
Passwords
So this section will contain passwords found to protected nodes in addresses as I find them, I'm not sure if they will stay the same across plays or not but these will hopefully be potential ones to use.
The Playground: Hanna (Clover's IRL name)
The playground 2: nJX7ae (find it inside game files, rename Password.jpg to Password.txt and read the file)
Customer Service: Shadows (answer to the riddle Sundrops are repeating)
Courier: 1324 (when you turn the lights on look up, you will see groups of orange lights: count the groups)
The Maze: Fibonacci (1-1-2-3-5-8... is a special number sequence)
Themes
Venom: Inside your apps menu there is an Audio app: using it play a distorted sound. However, if you play the sound backwards you get the developer? saying "Search for Wannacry on the internet" (wannacry was a pretty successful ransomware in real life). If you put it into intranet (button T) you will unlock the theme (thank you buboes for intranet hint)
Clover's theme: if you look at the official announcement trailer for the game
in the very last shot there is a text on the back of the screen. It reads "e1NlYXJjaEywcl9BbmdlbEZpcmVfT25UaGVJTnRyNG4zdH0=" which is, again, BASE64, so using an decoder you get "SearchLr_AngelFire_OnTheINtr4n3t". So, if put AngelFire in intranet (press T) you will unlock this theme (thank ほうき for this secret)

Anyone managed to figure out the password-locked App? It's called "Edge of the Net" or something like that.

For the other themes available
Pavo's theme: use the Intranet to search for Stuxnet. (One of the most insane replicating virus attacks so far)
Snail's theme: Once again, go to the intranet, and this time look for SolarWinds. another really large recent attack. also hinted at via the art on the achievements.

Hopefully these little tidbits are able to help others

Sure you can site it, I'm glad this is able to help

Ah I am wondering if I can cite the content in your guide with marking your name and URL(I just translated it into Chinese)
and also I find the secret in the game trailer
Its "e1NlYXJjaEywcl9BbmdlbEZpcmVfT25UaGVJTnRyNG4zdH0= " in the background in the last
also encoded in BASE64
translates to
{SearchLr_AngelFire_OnTheINtr4n3t}
This is to unlock the "Clover Theme"
I hope this can help you

thank you, we didn't even think about using the in-game internet. :D I will add theme unlocking requirements to the guide sometime soon.
bubby 6 Jan, 2022 @ 6:04pm 
The dev is actually saying Search for wanna cry on the Intranet, press T in game and type wannacry. this unlocks a new theme you can select.

nvm, was mistaking the 8 for a B

Got the password for Cl0v3rs private network?
