M4 Enigma Project
 

An interesting BBC article on attempts to break 3 U-boat messages which Bletchley couldn't break at the time and which have remained undeciphered ever since. See http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4763854.stm and the M4 project blog at http://www.bytereef.org/m4-project-blog.html .

There´s already a thread or two somewhere around here about that. :up:

:hmm: :hmm: :lurk:

Ah, ok. Knew there were some Enigma-related threads, didn't think they covered this.

They have already cracked the first of three messages. Just two to go....

What dose it say :huh:
