So, Enigma lovers, to get you ready for the New Year and real Enigma traffic, I've put a challenge message for you. This is a training message you've just received on 7.271 MHz.
MAU 2250/6 001 45
TFQF FUVH WGZO KEXS KPBE ZUIN ZYTE BOXX TJXE GMCX
ZSUM UMCA EHKY FTZF LQYK ZIBD PMCN RRQG BTGK PZLL
OGTR YWNV ZXCX WOKA ZUIO FRMT YXJK UXNP OFVN PTRU
GUWF XARS MOIZ QQGS AYEP UMKC QSKG FYFV VFUD UHHA
PYHF YLRW CUWK TFQF FUVH
Now to actually work on this message, you will need the Practice and Training key of the day, the Practice and training bigram of the day, and most importantly the Quick Reference Guide and the Kenngruppenbuch, M.Dv.Nr. 98. To get these you need the following link: Enigma M4 General Procedure.
Hmm, I don't see a [EWCG2017TRITON] or something like that. Thats true. You need to decode the indicator groups with the bigram tables and look up which u-boat cipher key net you are on. Could be TRITON, could be HYDRA. Thats right! We have two radio nets, TRITON for deep ocean operations, and HYDRA for home waters uboat operations. The Quick reference guide is there to help figure these out.
When you all get this one, a real OFFIZIER message will be sent next.
Let the Fun Begin!!
