Visit the Enigma Sim page |
About a year ago, I first published my Enigma simulator on on Tom Perera's fantastic Enigma Museum and Frode Weierud's Cryptology Cellar. I noticed that the upload links were traveling around the world, so I decided to create the Cipher Machines and Cryptology website.
Since then, Enigma Simulator became known in all corners of the world, and I received kind comments about the software. History is here to share, and I therefore wrote the sim and made it available as freeware. Everyone should be able to learn about that great and exciting story. I hope it inspires many to get interested in cryptology and the world of ciphers and codes, by using this sim on exactly the same way the German soldiers did.

Welcome to the Blogoshere, Dirk!
I hope to get around to reviewing your Enigma Simulator sometime this month.
For new readers : Dirk also did a simulator for the M-209, there's a review of it on my site.

Hi Dirk!
I was wondering what you used to create the graphics for the Enigma and M-209 simulators?
Have you ever considered a Bombe simulator?
Matt
Well Matt, basically I used MS Paint! Took me days! Afterwords I smoothend up things a bit with Paint Shop Pro. About the Bombe, that's another thing, much more complicated to understand, but yes, could be a future project.
