First entry in 2012 - the story continues. Thanks for the simulation program and the GREAT fun working on decrypting the 10 tasks. Cool nerd stuff :-))) This is a hands-on experience that can be understood. All I would still like to know is how the wires inside the weels are soldered. Max I really appreciated the detailed explanations of the hand-ciphers. There are so many programs to utilize them these days that the average person doesn't realize they were designed to be coded/decoded manually. That said; I notice that all the downloads are Windows machines. I would like to suggest that equivalent Mac versions of programs be captured in the downloads section, if/when they are available. Alternatively; programs in a multi-platform language/script (JAVA, PERL, PYTHON, or JAVASCRIPT) would be even better and very much appreciated. Regards; Gary I'm waiting for a 'Custom Standard One-Time Pads' option in the next 'Numbers secure RNG'. This option would allow much larger groups (say, 1000 - 1800) than the standard 250 number group. Great site, keep up the excellent work. Thanks Dirk, i love cyphers and Enigma was the greatest non-computerized one ever, thank you for helping me do more wit hmy passion Dirk, enjoying your excellent site and trying the simulators for the M-209 and the KL-7. Used both while I was in the Army and this brings back fond memories. Thank you for your time and effort in preserving these machines for another generation. best wishes, Maurice Cammack hi dirk, thanks for the update re the enigma v7 simulator,excellent !! thanks also for your input re the use of cryptool and assessing the randomness of binary files all the best. dave Hallo Dirk! Vielen Dank, das du dich seit Jahren um diese tolle Seite kümmers, und uns mit wertvollen Programmen und Informationen versorgst. Einfach Klasse :) Impressive work. Excellent graphics and very realistic. Congratulations Dirk Great site Dirk - I've really only scratched the surface of it so far but lots of interesting things, nicely presented and explained, to take a further look at! I especially like the new improved Enigma rotor tech description pages ! ;-) The Enigma info here was significant in helping me to build my own little flexible Enigma simulator (unix command line application) which has no nice graphics but seems to be working fine. I made it as a programming exercise and a first step towards thinking about a 'virtual bombes' type solution to crack the Enigma code inspired by a recent visit to Bletchley Park (if 'spare' time permits...) so I will be reading more on this site! Regards/ Henry Very instructive website precise and well realized. great sim! great page! As a Sys-admin/electronics engineer/radio HAM with a passion for all things "tech" it doesn't get any better then this! Have you ordered your electronic replica of the Enigma yet from the people at bletchley park yet? The proceeds help the upkeep of the restored Colossus! Hallo Dirk, De simulator is geinstalleerd en werkt uitstekend. Prima werk van je. Ik heb altijd belangstelling gehad voor " Bletchley " en alles wat er mee te maken heeft. ( XX, England Spiel, Ultra ). Nu de codes kraken, dat wordt spannend. a great website dirk ! an excellent educational resource and more!! a great find on the internet. you have done a service to us all who may come now and after us. Very nice page and not only program but technical reference of machine is great. Germans were not stupid. They constantly developed their machine. To the 15 December 1938 there were only 3 walzen to choose from 3. It makes 6 possible combinations(3*2*1). After that date 3 walzen but too choose from 5. It makes 60 combinations (5*4*3)I have stopped at message 7 but for a while. I have first unknown stecker in 8 but a took rest and dont have much time like in summer . Sometimes cryptologist can get headache. If i want know in detail how it works i have built paper enigma with every reflecors and rotors. Nice and useful tool. Although I was mildly interested in Enigma before, the availability of the Enigma-e brought it closer to home. After building it, I installed several simulators on my PC, then my laptop and now even on the iPad. Enigma on the go - can you imagine the look on a WWII Enigma operator'sface if he'd be shown such a thing? After visiting a lecture by the Enigma-e designer I started reading up on the subject (do definately read Winterbotham and Welchman!) and bought a stack of books (mostly 2nd hand through Amazon) on the subject nearly one meter high. Haven't quite finished, but working on it... And then I found the Enigma Challenge. At first I didn't think I would be able to finish it. But Dirks reassuring "You don't need to be a professional cryptologist or maths geek!" convinced me to jump in and I haven't regretted it for a single moment. Not only do the messages bring you an interesting journey of WWII itself, playing with the settings to get to the decrypts proved a very effective way of building up a better understanding of the inner workings of the Enigma. Kudos to Dirk for setting up the challenge! All in all it took me six months from breaking #1 to finding the complete settings for #10. Not a full time occupation of course - you have the luxury of knowing that no lives depend on your decision to watch telly tonight instead of puzzling over a stecker. Enjoy the holiday sun instead of wondering how to tackle a wheel order problem. But those moments of solitary thought, trying to crack another of Dirk's stages in the challenge are sure to teach you more about the way Enigma works (and some of the ways to crack it) than just reading about it in a book. And in the process, it brought to me even more respect for the people at Bletchley Park and in America who did this under the pressure of war, without the technical means available to us today. Thank you very much Dirk. Fantastic website Dirk. Very informative and fascinating. Regards, Rob I like this program very much, it's a kinda boys dream come true. And så realistic as you have bin there your self. I'm writing a piece for school about WW2 and this make it perfect. Thank you Fascinating! After I read Simon Singh's The Code Book I just had to find a simulator or a buildable kit to go further with the Enigma. Your simulator saved me a bunch of British Pounds! I am a retired school administrator and retired member of the US Coast Guard Auxiliary here in Darkest Arkansas, by the Arkansas River at Fort Smith. Mostly I now do American Civil War reenactments. You can check out that at [http://home.earthlink.net/~starbird1942] Again, Thanks! Amazing site. Lots of history information. Great job Dirk. Thanks. Keep the good work. Thanks so much for the time you took in creating/updating this site - the information is very valuable and interesting...keep up the good work! This is awesome, if one can think that breaking this has changed the outcome of the world war. Thanks for producing this software. Mr. Rijmenants - I thoroughly enjoy your website and your simulators! Thank you so much! You should consider taking financial contributions for your work! - VR, Tom Wow! This site has so much information, it blows the mind!. I've already leadrned so much! History has always interested me, but this is a tangible way foe me to execute it. What a great reasource! (and FREE to!)! Zeer interessant,mooi in elkaar gezet.petje af! Hi Dirk. Nice and interesant.. Great job. Good luck. Jan. Dirks Rijmenants has created a great web page. His simulator is the best, by far, of all available ENIGMA simulators. The historical information and supporting information for the ENIGMA machine are outstanding. What a fantastic site! I've been interested in numbers stations since I first heard one as a kid in the 70s on a shortwave radio I had brought back to life (learned how to test and replace these things called 'tubes'). I've never found more than a few bits of information about how one-time pads worked, but never how they constructed the messages for broadcast. I am a kid in a candy store here! Thank you so much for sharing in such a well structured and entertaining way. We greatly appreciate your work and passion! Toodles old bean. Great bit of techie nostalgia. The software is great stuff. Pip, pip Toodles old bean. Great website, with a lot of historic references. This makes cryptography even more interesting! The software I like the most is ATOMIX, but can't find information or historic references about it on the Internet. Is it only a virtual machine? Thank you for the wonderful and extensive web site you created and the simulators are nothing short of amazing. I've downloaded and spent time with all of them. This is the best collection of information I've seen in one place since an uncle sent me a copy of the Code Breakers in the mid 60's. I've been hooked ever since and deeply regretted not getting to work on codes and cyphers full time throughout my life. Thank you again. I come back to your website again and again over the years. Henry Roberts Great website! Excellent site, my compliments. The cryptographers were among the very brightest people of all time. The story of their hard work and success is so very impressive. My thanks to them for the Allies’ lives that they saved. OMG, I LOVE YOU!!! >_> Ok, not really. But, I do love how easy you made enigma to understand. Thank you! The first Enigma machine was built in 1404, albeit with just 2 rotors & finger powered, but exactly the same principle. Excellent site. Republic of Armenia Excellent site. I recently visited Bletchley Park and saw enigma machines, collossus and the bombe and was totally bowled over as to how complicated it was. I tried writing my own Enigma in VB to get a grasp of it and after a day spent getting the wheels to step properly i got totally lost in how to actually encode a letter! I could probably build a real machine faster as i'm an engineer but i'm afraid to say i gave up and downloaded your fantastic example, well done. Thanks for the cipher machines simulators. I really like the realism of the C-52 and Enigma simulators. I learned a lot from your site about crytology. Again thank you very much Dear Mr. Rijmenants: Thank you very much for your excellent and unique cryptic work. I’m an amateur hamradio operator, and always looking for secrets codes and messages in the radio spectrum. It is a privilege to visit your illustrative webpage. Best regards, Angel-KP4EU. Klasse und gut gemachte Webseite. Freundliche Beantwortung der Anfragen. Weiter so. Klasse en goed ontworpen webpagina. Vriendelijk antwoord op de vragen. Keep it up. Over een bezoek zouden we blij. [www.u-boot-zentrale.de] perfect stukje werk op deze site, veel geleerd in korte tijd, neem rustig de tijd om alles door te nemen en te proberen. toch wel knap dat ze dit toen al konden maken... Knappe site waar nog vele een voorbeeld aan kunnen nemen. Alles wordt duidelijk uitlegt. Ik heb hier al heel wat bijgeleerd. This is truly amazing. I have learned more in the last 3 hours than I ever thought I could. Thank you and I am looking forward to a challenge! With a lot of help from Dirk I finaly "solved" the Enigma coin puzzle. My next problem is to try to export beer from Sweden to Belgium. Not easy since Belgian beer tastes much better then Swedish. But I will have a go at it :-) Thanks for an outstanding simulation program. Thanks a lot for that great piece of software which allowed me to decrypt a message I received with a Geocoin - but only after Dirk helped me a little with the setup of the program. Cheers! :beer: The best edutainment on earth in my humble opinion. The Enigma and the instructions leads you into a fascinating world of history, decryption and solving puzzles even in the geocaching society. Thanks Dirk for an excelent job, I wish I had more time and IQ to really grasp "it all". With your help I at least I know the basics of the Enigma. As a freelance signals security consultant, I owe you guys my job. If I wouldn't have used this site during college as a recource, I wouldn't have graduated. Thanks, dirk. I owe you one, man. HI, THIS PAGE IS FANTASTIC, GREAT JOB. MY NAME IS IVAN DIB BUCHALA, FROM BRAZIL, SÃO ROQUE, STATE: SÃO PAULO. Nooit gedacht nog eens iets van de Kl-7 terug te zien. De simulator is geweldig en ik kan uit ervaring verklaren dat deze de werking van de echte Kl-7 volledig simuleert. Oude tijden herleven weer!! Das ist ja erste Sahne! Thanks for creating this remarkable, fascinating, and educational program. I am quite pleased, not to mention relieved, to have completed the Enigma Challenge. I learned a lot about Enigma in the process, and improved my programming and statistics skills also! You have a great collection of links, and the Enigma simulator is a magnificent piece of work. Met vriendelijke groet. Jerry. Thank you for making available all of these hard to find programs and the great information that goes with them. Excellent website and some fine software applications. Yours is the best OTP utility out there. I came across your website via a link in Wikipedia. Good job! That's an excellent Site, thank you very much! Question: I am searching for a simulator of the M2114 Model. Where can I find it? Or is the M3 or M4 the same? I need to decrypt a message of a quiz. But they mention an 'inner' an an 'outer' ring. But your simulation only has one ring. Who can help? Thanks! Congratulation, keep this excelent work! Such amount of information about many classical cipher is really hard to find in one site alone. Tanks! Excellent work,Excellent information, Excellent simulator! Feels very real. Thanks. Very good work. Well done! Thanks for a fantastic webpage and a very stimulating challenge. It have given me alot of amusement, and some gray hairs too;-) and a fantastic historic trip through ww2. Excellent. Good Simulator. I'll learn this simulation. Excellent 5 stars. Hello! I just wanted to let you know that this is such a cool place!!! Love it! Thanks! Waaaaaah! hoe kan het dat ik deze site nu pas zie. Geweldig alles bij elkaar, wat een werk. Zeer mooi gedaan! Het so pas David Kahn se Codebreakers gelees en was op soek na verdere inligting oor OTP. Vind toe jou website. Verstommend en fantasties! Excellent information. I enjoyed reading it and learned a lot. Thanks! What a fantastic site. I've been reading pages and playing with software for hours and I've only just scratched the surface. So many valuable links too. I wanted to let you know that your work is very much appreciated. I'll be a regular visitor from now on. Thank you. Hey bedankt voor de bruikbare informatie voor mijn PWS Keep up the good work! Absolutely amazing work! Amazing software simulations, extremely informative. The best site!! Thankyou for all your hard work and enthusiasm it is truly appreciated. Mijn hobby is geocaching. Dat houdt in dat ik dikwijls puzzles op moet lossen die me naar een cache leiden. Een bevriende geocacher uit Denemarken had een "Enigma" puzzel voor me. Mede dankzij jouw site en de gave simulator was ik in staat voor hem de puzzel op te lossen! De volgende twee "mystery" caches gaan over de Fialka en Hagelin machines. Gelukkig heb je ook voor een van hen een simulator. Voor de Fialka heb ik een andere site gevonden. Bedankt voor de "indirecte"steun! Diese Seite ist ein echter Schatz, für jeden Hobbykryptologen. Der Autor ist sehr hilfbereit, und erklärt z.b bei bedienungsproblemen zu einer Simulation, geduldig und gut verständlich, wo das Problem ist. Auch die anderen Programme wie der One Time Pad sind gut erklärt, so hat man neben dem Programm auch gleich sehr viele Informationen, ohne erst viel suchen zu müssen. Auch allgemein befinden sich viele Informationen über Kryptografie im allgemein (unabhänging von den Programmen) auf der Seite. Die Seite ist wie ich finde sehr gut gepflegt, und übersichtlich gehalten. Danke an dem Author für diese tolle Seite! Dirk, hartelijk dank voor deze fantastische en informatieve site. Hallo Ik doe zelf studie naar deze codes ga op korte termijn mee doen aan het CONET PROJECT met mogelijk doel om dit te decoderen wat nog best een knap stukje werk is. Tevens vind ik deze site erg goed in elkaar gezet Met vriendelijke groet Thanks so much for your amazing work! My fisrt novel (hopefully to be published in late 2009) made extensive use of the Enigma Sim. I will sign again when it is released to let you know. And thanks for your kind reply to my email. Keep up the great work. Thanks! Very intresting information about Enigma. Excellent site. Found a lot of useful info here, and have had a lot of fun using the hands on approach with the Enigma Simulator. Thanks so much for providing all of this for us! Great stuff! Hi Dirk, thanks for compiling lots of information on enigma and cryptography! Encryption is a fascinating topic and there is always a lot to learn. All the best! Christian from Austria Thanks! Very intresting information about Enigma. Hi Dirk, Thanks for replying to my email.(i could not resist sending it in code). Great sim, enjoying learning about enigma etc, your pages are very helpful. Regards John. I love your website, it's great for my research paper over WWII cryptology. However,if you'd like to be accredited more often it might be good to have information on how to cite this website. Dirks, via via kwam ik op deze site en mijn belangstelling was gelijk gewekt. Heb de site onmiddellijk bij bij nijn favorieten in het mapje "verbindingsdienst" gezet, zodat ik de site eens rustig kan bekijken. groeten joop volkert Thank you very much for tha information you give at these pages. The Enigma Challenge is amazing! I hope I'll be able to finish it... These pages are a must for various interested in the different branches of Sciences and humanities... Yes, indeed, they are! Great Job! Thanks for it! Dirk, the enigma simulator works like a dream. After trying to make a simple one myself, I know how tricky it is. The Enigma Challenge is simply great, everything is made with great eye for detail and the plaintext stories are in the same league. Solving all 10 challenges kept my grey matter (and my laptop) busy for weeks! Thanks for this great experience. Dank-u vor de website I came to your site for the code, excellent. Thanks for honoring a great American soldier. Ed oostende 25/02/2008 Mijnheer, U hebt fantastisch werk gemaakt........ Ik heb er over gelezen... Ga proberen er wijs uit te geraken... Boeiend tot en met... Hi Dirk - you managed to produce a fascinating site; thanks a lot. Thanks! Great job. I haven't had so much fun since Orbiter simulation. \m/ Well Well... What can i say? Dirk, you leave me speechless... I havent seen such perfect simulators.. but more than that, i havent met or known anyone who's so so so genuinely helpful and concerned for people!!! Dirk... You're the man!!! :) guys like you recovers my belief in internet bruno, Melbourne Great work, Mr. Rijmenants! It is wonderful that some people have such incredible bags and spend a lot of their free time to share results of their hobby-work with others! The ciphering area isn't well known to the wider public but your website surely helps to enlarge this knowledge! You did a great job! Thanks I had a programming challenge at school today, and one of the tasks was a much simplified Enigma simulation. I failed miserably, and starting reading up about rotor machines. This website is a great source of information. Hi, came across the site only a couple of days ago and already I'm hooked. Great information (fascination), great quizes, all round great site. Fantastic website! The ENIGMA simulator in particular and the Challenge are both outstanding. Thank you very much for creating such a good piece of software. All the best 73 de Philip G0ISW Damn fine program you have made here. Only had one problem and that was half the lights dident light up, I probaly installed it wrong as it worked fine once i re-installed, So realistic the light bulbs went :P Hey, cool site! Very cool software. It's a great way to help preserve history and make it available to those who are curious. Thanks! Finalmente qualcuno ha fatto chiarezza su una materia "oscura" I was just wondering the other day, what is the total keyspace of ATOMIX machine? :) Other than that, an excellent site, even better simulators and absolutely number one when it comes to reference :) Thanks for the challenges. I've been hooked since I found your page, and couldn't put them down until I finished them. Great Enigma sim, and a ton of useful info about crypto machines too. A pleasure to surf. Nogmaals mijn complimenten. Ook de codebook tool is erg leuk gevonden, en zit goed in elkaar. A truly fascinating, informative and absorbing site. The best Enigma simulator I have ever seen and used. The challenges are varied, imaginative and challenging! Many, many thanks. Terry Dalton Excellent site, Especially the challenges, Be a tough job to stop until i have cracked all the codes. Plenty of useful information on cryprographic techniques. Your website and work are great!! It´s hard not to get completeley hooked while browsing your site (my computer is now running Stefan Krah´s M4-project client program). The Enigma simulator is fanatstic. Thank you! Great! I use it to demonstrate codes in my computer education class. Your site is really perfect as your simulatores Dirk, Your *the* man... And so is your website! Great Work! Thanks a lot for the programms. HI. Thank you very much for this great simulator!! I just came across your SECOM cipher when looking for usable pencil and paper ciphers.. great piece of work. By far the most professional simulator out there. Keep up the good work! The kids love playing with it and we have used it to teach how the machine works. (From Cremona - Italy) This is a very great work! Amazing simulator and very clear, detailed and complete all the entire site including photos. Thank you very much!!! Hey! whats up. I like your site, i use it for my school papers, as well as some other guy that signed I'm presenting a school paper on Enigma and it will probably only have your website as a reference. You have covered the subject completely. Thank You! Could it be possible to add an option, to automatically create keys (from a passphrase) for the ACX crypto pad ? Note from Dirk: the Crypto Pad key has to follow some important rules to ensure a high level of security. Creating a key from a passphrase that follows these rules would be difficult (for instance, the bit setting of each array must be truly random and that's hardly the case when derived from a phassphrase). Thanks so much for this nice site. Very good work Best regards from Madrid-Spain http://www.criptored.upm.es Love the site and the simulator. My "spy kids" will love this thing. Only problem is that the Help file no longer opens on Windows Vista as it is in an obsolete format. Any chance we can get an updated version, or an HTML with the same data on the web? Thanks. Note from Dirk: A new Enigma version 6.4 is out and includes an improved pdf manual with detailed pictures, schematics and other information. Very interesting website! Well done (Like the Enigma simulator as well) First I found your site, because I was just looking for an enigma simulator, and learn how this famous machine was working. But than I read about your challenge, and saw in the table of honor that quite a lot other guys are interested in this stuff too. This challenge was definately the reason to get deeper and deeper in the secrets of the Enigma-machine and code-breaking software. Beacause of Dirks creative riddles (written by hand on paper, interesting stories) it was an exciting advanture to finally solve every 10 Messages. This shows in a perfect way how a very theoretical and "boring" theme like encryption can be made exciting for everybody (easy 1st message, getting more and more difficult). Congratulations Dirk, sngiteerg morf airtsua, Thomas Mueller :-) Hey People! This is very nice site!!! Forever Rules! The Engima emulator is outstanding! I'm going to explore more of the site. (USA) Hey! Cool site! Never learned so much about enigma, cyphers and WW2. Your challenge was great, too (interesting content,...). And thanks for the Enigma simulator and the codebook tool! regards Christian This is one of the most interesting sites I've visited over the net! Congratulations! Thank you for your work. It is quite fun to make a riddle with the settings (only "enigma says <all settings for it>" on a piece of paper) and the code anywhere else. they've to find out. Loved the history and intrigue. Awesome, we are learinin about this in schjool Awesome job on the Enigma Simulator...Great Web Site...will be passing this site along to my kids school for a looking at by they're teachers. Hi Dirk I am a former Merchant Marine Radio Officer. Worked for German and British Owners from 1978 to 1996. Retired before technology kicked me off..... Much interested in Radio Comms history, found your page very educational and helfpfull. Thank you very much for your good work and efforts to enlight all of us. 10 out of 10 for the simulator. Best regards Waldo from Barcelona/Spain Hi Mr. Dirk. I'm interested in History of the WWII and Languages. You did a really good job doing this simulator. Keep it up! I like the simulator. The help file shows how the "operator's key sheet" would appear. In addition to the existing "Enigma Settings" display, would it be possible to add an option to display the Enigma settings in the same format as the "operator's key sheet". This would add some historical realism. Er moesten er meer zijn zoals jij...schitterend ! Great site about crypto. Your machines are great. Hope you continue to make more simulators. Great web site. I love the Enigma Challenge, even though I am late to the game. The simulator is the best Enigma sim I have seen. Mooi gemaakt Dirk. En interessant. Proficiat met de website. Als ex-onderofficier van het 6e bataljon transmissietroepen in Ludenscheid had ik enkel ervaring met Maplay, Slidex en Hertzbundelverbindingen... Tolle Internetseite, großartige Challenge, sehr gute Enigma-Simulation. Nochmal vielen Dank für die Mühe all das Material zusammenzutragen. Mir hat besonders die realistische Gestaltung der Challenge gefallen. Man kann viel über die Enigma erfahren, auch die Links sind sehr interessant! Zeer duidelijke beschrijving van de Enigma PROFICIAT !! Absolutly brilliant! What about starting an international user group dedicated to sending and decoding messages using your sim? Zeer duidelijke beschrijving over de Enigma, ook zeer leuk verteld, heel mooi!! Thanks for sharing Amanda Pinson's story. May she rest in peace and never be forgotten. Great simulator. very in depth and complicated! Fantastic program. Helped me tremendously in developing/tweaking a calculator project. The Best Enigma Simulator i ever tried. Great work. And thanks for the codeBook tool Both simulators, the Enigma and the M-209, are great programs! The graphical interface is very realistic! Doing geocaching, some mystery caches in Quebec use those machines so I got no choice and had to learn how they work! Thanks again Dirk! Fascinating site. I came across it as its needed to solve a puzzle geocache near Liverpool in NW England. See http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=16c56ff2-d9ed-4c9c-aa6b-e44c480203e1 for details Cheers Ukw D is a rare artifact now but in 1944 it was very used. A lot were destroyed after the war (The US sold the Enigma to others countries but not the ukw D and the Uhr box because it was more difficult to crack them and US wanted to spy others countries) Note from Dirk: Thanks for the find of the articles John! Very interesting! Lucky for us the D still came to late to change odds :-) Maybe stuff for a future project, hard to incorporate all different things in one sim. And we even didn't mention the Railway and Abwehr Enigma. But if a message surfaces, it's mostly Wehrmacht or with some luck a Naval one. So, the current sim can do the job. Frode Weierud from CSG has several different types of Enigma, great site! It's not true reflector D was very used in Luftwaffe since 1944 look at Cryptologia articles : part I: http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3926/is_200104/ai_n8942078 part II: http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3926/is_200107/ai_n8984792 part III: http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3926/is_200110/ai_n8976505 I would be great if you could implement the UKW D with the 3 rotor Luftwaffe Enigma. Note from Dirk: I didn't add the D-reflector since it's very rare and seldom used by the Luftwaffe, just as the Enigma Uhr box. Nice tricks, but they came to late to make a difference. That's by far the best looking and most interesting/informative Enigma sim I've seen! I've just updated my "Further Readings and Fun" ( http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~d97jorn/pgp/furtherreadings.html ) page of my "eMail Encryption for the Lazy" site to link to your site. Thanks for providing the site and the sims! Cool Work. Congratulations.. This work has historical and practical value.. Great idea and nice toy!!! Thank you. Dirk's simulator is the only tool available to imitate functioning of an extensive Enigma family rather, than, like its competitors, single family member. Based on the thorough research, it behaves exactly like its original. I'm using it extensively while deciphering original messages as well as imitating BP codebreaking operations. Dirk, you know from my mail the only detail missing, hope some day you will find enough time to add this function. Very good simulators. Both the Enigma and the M209 work with WINE under Linux. Enigma Codebook Tool is the perfect combination to learn properly to run the Enigma Machine. Tankyou for these tools and go ahead! A very good and real looking ENIGMA simulation, thanks. Fantastische site! Geweldig zo'n heldere uitleg over deze codeermachine.... I was searching the Internet for information about Enigma to make/program one by my own, and found your fine simulator. I don't think I can do better, great work! The best we can found! Puzzeling your VB code give me a great reading evening and some fine 'aha moments', and even more exiting was reading the article in your weblog about 50 cents quantum security, lets's try this at home! Heel erg interesant, ik heb gisteren een film gezien over de enigma code en wat the Britten deden om het te kraken. Dank U voor de kans om nu zelf met de Enigma machiene te spelen. Fantasties stuk werk. Of the various Enigma Simulators I have seen, this is certainly the best. The Enigma simulator has helped bring this fascinating subject to life for me, and I am most appreciative for Mr Rijmenants' work, and for sharing it with everyone. Ik vind dit een schitterend idee en initiatief, erg origineel, ondanks dat enigma meer dan 60 jaar oud is! A very great work. I used this programm to teach some aspects of cryptography to my students. Excellent site and simulator. congratulations. Exellent site! Very useful for all who use the Enigma-E electronic enigma. Thank you for all your efforts. Cheerio, Marcus PE1RRT Well done! It's a pleasure to use. I will be sharing this cool simulator with friends for sure. Really a great Simulator! Fantastic! But at the moment i still dont know right about, how the Code for each message is created/read. Big praise! Great simulator! Next time how about the Kurzsignalschlussel or Wetterkurzschlussel simulator? Excellent simulator. Too bad that the codebuch generator available elsewhere doesn't take into account the Gamma and Beta rotors. We use this in the Wolfpack League Atlantik! Kampagne. Note from Dirk: I just wrote my own codebook generator, the This simulator is a terrific device. Well designed and highly addicting. On top of that Dirk is a very helpful person in explaining questions that come up. Thank you! Je viens de lire le livre de Hugh Sebag-Montefiore sur ENIGMA - THE BATTLE FOR THE CODE. Votre programme est parfait comme illustration. Une merveille! Excellent work, old chap! It's come in quite useful for me! Impressive website sir, and I haven't even tried the simulator! All this reminds me when I was a school pupil coding messages by mail with a friend. Good old days, I always came up with the best ideas for codes. I wonder if we've had an Enigma... You have done a great job, my son! :) Dirk! I am really glad we did manage to "meet" again, thanks to bloody Internet. You know, we both are more soldiers than computer geeks, we prefer to stay in the trenches rather than in the nice and warm cities. I can still remeber all of you guys, my lovely "Motorola team", the UNTAES communications heart! I wish you all the best and please, never get lost again. Shake your hand, old dog! All the best to you. Hey buddy what a great idea have you done!! Im an architect working in foreign country, im entertaining my self recently in cryptography and I landed on your site, Im downloading at the moment the enigma & M 209 cant wait to see what it got... thanks and more power... the enigmasim is the best sim ever! i dont understand the m-209 but it looks great too :) P.S. my email adresse is real! try it!!! I just downloaded from your site, havent' even tried it yet but I'll tell you that this looks like a marvelous toy. Thinking about turn based strategy or tactic games, this could provide a boon. Especially if one player chatted the coded message to his ally over open air. Of course this would only work if the other team didn't know this software existed. : ) very cool idea. I can't wait to give it a shot. A great simulator, down to minute detail! Hallo, habe mich sehr über die ENIGMA Simulation gefreut. Diese ist sehr gut programmiert und das beste was ich bis jetzt zu diesem Thema gesehen und ausprobiert habe. Nur schade, daß dieses Tool nicht in SH3 integriert werden kann! Es verbleibt mit freundlichen Grüßen Dirk, thank you, sir! You've created a real time machine there. Enjoyed decoding those actual messages. Beautiful execution. Fantastic simulator! amazing detail and functionality. I have been looking for something this good for years, thank you. Erg mooie site met veel waardevolle info. Heb me altijd geintereseerd voor de U-boot oorlog en dan is een site als dit een must. Thanks a lot for providing the world with this fine piece of software. It really helps to demonstrate working with this historical machine. Real eye candy by the way. Excellent simulator! Feels like the real thing. A great simulator, down to minute detail!
