Enigma Cipher Challenge

Enigma Challenge
The Enigma Cipher Challenge has started! Your mission is to decipher ten messages, encrypted with the Enigma machine. Each of the ten stages is a bit harder to solve as the previous. To participate, you have to break the stages one by one, and e-mail me the solutions.

You can use the Enigma Sim, an accurate software simulation that works exactly as the real machine. Of course, you'll need to translate the messages, as they are in written German. You'll face the same problems as the codebreakers did in Bletchley Park, but don't worry, translation tips are available.

There's a table of honor where you can find the names of the top codebreakers, participating in the game. For the content of the messages, I tried to stay as close as possible to the historical facts. You might find help or clues in WW2 history or on the internet. Hope to get you in our codebreakers team.

Vist the challenge page... and good luck!
