Kriegsmarine Enigma Codebooks

Hi defcom

Kool site.

I remember someone had a downloadable virtual enigma machine you could use to send messages with.

You could change rotors (I think thats what they were ) and hear the keys when you typed.

I reformated my rig and forgot to burn it to cd.

I hope someone was smarter than me and still has it.

Hi Firewall,

Thanks for the compliments. The sim you're talking about is written by me

. You can find him on my website:

http://users.telenet.be/d.rijmenants/en/enigmasim.htm

Just download and have fun with it (and if you like it, pop by in the guestbook

)

Thx defcom

Will do. And this time I will burn to cd.

IMHO this is a gotta have for online playing like Teamspeak is for online Flight sims.

Or maybe LAN playing and someone is BdU.

I don't know how it would work as I have never played online or LAN.

Just a thought.

edit : Just d\l it and played with it for a bit. FUN!!!

wow, that's actually yours? I stumbled over it years ago and was really impressed. Fun toy, we even used it for fun in some emails (but actually prefer gpg

Nice work either way!

cheers,

I have that download and also the codebook for it to. Its from Operation Spinnetz.

only slightly off topic.

If anyone is unlucky enough to be in our nation's capitol, be sure to check out the Spy Museum. They have a very nice computer display of how the Enigma worked. Most interesting. They also have an old 3 rotor no punchboard Enigma there also but the computer display is what is cooleo.

I actually operated an Enigma Replica once. A crypto guru brought it for some training stuff. Very fascinating indeed. Maybe it's a fetish for those mechanical things. My father still had one of these:

I loved it since I was 3 or so
