Enigma
 

just as the morse code post, i would like to make 1 but with the enigma machine.
you can download the enigma simulator from here:
http://www.simulacionnaval.com/Porta...ownload&cid=24
the link is called "maquina enigma oficial de sumulacionnaval.com"
(dont worry the program is in english)
you can download it learn to use it and then post msgs and decode other msgs. (just give all info needed to decode the msg)

tutorial:
1-open the machine by clicking in the white screw in the right side of the rotors. http://img498.imageshack.us/my.php?i...errada15jb.png (the arrow with the number 1)
that should show the inside of the machine with 3 rotors, click on them and then click in the lower part (where 2 other rotors are plased) to remove them. you should see this: http://img64.imageshack.us/my.php?im...norotor6nm.png (you can see 5 rotors in the box and the B wide reflector, let not touch the reflector for now.)
you can select the rotors by clicking on them and then clickin on the slot you want to place them on (for the first message i placed the 2nd rotor in the 1st slot, the last rotor in the 2nd slot and the 3rd rotor in the 3rd slot walzenlage 253)
if you click on a rotor but you dont place it anywhere you could see the ringsetting of the rotor (the A-01) and you can change it (B-02 C-03 and so on.) thats the ringstellung (for the msg i used LQV) you can see the ring setting here: http://img79.imageshack.us/my.php?im...gseting7wv.png

once that is setted you can press in the upper side of the machine to close it and move on to the next step, the steckerverbindungen.

and you should see something like this:

i cant load anymre imgs, i get "could not find server" so i will finish the tutorial as soon as i can.

i'll start:
walzenlage: 253
ringstellung: lqv
steckerverbindungen: ak em fh jq no ru
start position: ojk
msg:
GCFER IRHPL ZCPAX BYKWK VFAHU RDMOQ HCKXQ QFEBS BJS

if you press in the square in the upper left side of the enigma machine or press f1 a help menu should open with instructions to use the program.

then duty calls, i'll use my (poor) english to make some kind of tutorial

(edited for idiocracy) :damn:

we cant decode it without the start position, the connections and the ringsettings :S

My bad!

Right, gonna try this again.

Walzenlage: (b) II IV V
Ringstellung: 1 19 10
Steckerverbindungen: AC NO UB WQ LX ZH JV YI KP TE

1st Trigram = EZH
2nd Trigram = TUP

Re: Enigma
 

I think it says:

ZBMMW KUTHH PBDCR TIBHZ XPHUY
WYEFM FXVYX FOROL VCF

:o

Did I miss a step somewhere??? :damn:

Re: Enigma
 

Think you did. I decoded it ok. :up:
Did you set the ringstellung right?

Re: Enigma
 

Using the same settings:

VKDLM TQDWV WTNFA IDDFV QJIBS

You're right, I had it set wrong.

Using the same settings as the original message:


SCSSG RUTOY TPNBB GHAQM IFRIU
KMLCK SUFGN WWUMK AVRSN FXFLT
ZQAPN BYJAM GIHIF GWNJZ IYKTG
VPUQS KZJZB AKRXF LYCHE VTF
