This one took me longer to figure out than it should have- is it the letters are shifted? ;)

Of course! Dammit! It took me too long to work out the last word! :(

well PhoenixxFire solved it, but i dunno how to crack S200's.
theres been caesar ciphers, shift ciphers, vowel substitution and telephone code but what the hell is that :')

The ceasar ciphers right. But there is only one more. not three ;D

Easy. You squared them

In case anyone can't solve the first one (:D) here's another one, the same cipher, but without the Caesar Cipher... :D

WTEP IUTASIH TOHCACE HERR

You will kick yourself once you solve it

Well S200 if there is any winner ill say you would be it

WTEP IUTASIH TOHCACE HERR Literally equals "Without the Caesar Cipher" :)

Methodology
Make four rails, and go down a rail with each letter. Then read across each rail to make word groups.
So WTEP is the first rail, IUTASIH the second one &etc.
So, unscrambled, the message would read...
W            T              E             P   
  I         U   T          A  S         I    H
   T    O        H     C      A    C         E
      H               E              R              R

You can vary the amount of rails, but you have to start with a word larger than the amount of rails you have... :D

yeah ouch i am kicking myself, its a shift cipher embedded in a caesar cipher
how did i not see that :'(

true S200 i am kicking myself i had forgotten about them
i think i need a touch up on my code breaking skills

This one?

still trying to work it out. do you railfence cipher first then use caesar cipher or what? using 2 is a rather clever way to do it i must say
Title: Re: Code Crackers
Post by: S200 on August 21, 2018, 05:32:27 am
I did the message on the fence and then Ceasared it, so you'll have to do the inverse...

Yeah, I get that it's basic Enigma. (I knew someone would eventually do this...);)

But when do your rotors switch? 1/26?

'cause I get the Transcoded text to be YDMYVL, which I assume should be YDMYDM, as in the 'Scrib' for further encoding?

Rotors never 'switch'. The least significant rotor (LSR) moves 1 position each time a character is inputted. Once the LSR has moved 26 times, the 2nd LSR moves. (It's like counting upwards in base 26 but with letters and taking the start position as 000).

Also, make sure you have operations in the correct order, signals go into the board first, and then the rotors from least significant to most significant :).

MASSIVE HINT: The configuration I gave may or may not have been the encoding configuration :o

And the answer is not "YDMYVL". It will be obvious when you have the correct answer :)

Post by: S200 on November 28, 2018, 11:28:36 pm
Ok.
I just threw the plug board combo's and the rotor start positions into an enigma simulator app, and that's what it gave me.

I guess I'm gonna have to try my hand at Berkeley Park... :-\
