Enigma Decoder

Johnfb · 01-31-13, 03:43 PM

I downloaded the enigma application and tried it out last night...really good program which actually decodes messages found on the net from real messages during the war.
tricky to get used to but great fun messing around with it

Anyone else try this program?

I did, all variants from 3 to 4 rottor settings. Nice toy nowadays, serious headache for allies during ww2.

Yeah, it's good fun. There are a few enigma simulation apps on google play. One free, which allows you to copy and paste text into the sim.
I have an Enigma-E simulator (http://www.cryptomuseum.com/kits/) but I havent assembled it yet...

There really should be an Enigma mod, where you get orders/messages in code :-)

Where can I buy this replica, but assembled?

I dont know if they are sold as finished products. But it is not hard to put together, after what I have seen in my manual. Some basic soldering, but apart from that, it is just putting the right parts in the right place

Have you tried to decode any of the files from the huge selection by Karles...there are messages from every month of every year of the war in there.

Were they worth having a look at? Realistic and actual or just made up messages?
