Enigma Decoder

[Johnfb]

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

Many thanks!

The kit includes all the needed, with the buttons and wheels? In the Museum site there isn´t clear information...

Best regards,

That would be class alright...something to do on those long patrols while waiting for a ship.

It is an electronic version, with everything you need to assemble it included. The wheels are replaced with LCD figures, but otherwise i think it is quite similar. It doesn't come with a box, though, but it shouldn't be hard to make.

I'll try to upload a picture of my kit later today :-)
