Scenario

Welcome to the Enigma challenge! Your task is to decrypt the given ciphertext using the Enigma M3 settings provided below. The flag is hidden within the decrypted message.

Enigma Settings: Rotors: I, II, III Ring Settings: D, D, D Initial Rotor Positions: A, B, C Reflector: B Plugboard Connections: A ↔ G, B ↔ H

Ciphertext: ymnjp znmjo gteqj cjwwh qljtd nprmp g

Note: You will have to rearange the letters and bring it in flag format QUESTCON{seperate_space} Also remember to replace space to _

Solution

The challenge provides an Enigma M3 settings and a ciphertext. The Enigma M3 settings are as follows:

  • Rotors: I, II, III
  • Ring Settings: D, D, D
  • Initial Rotor Positions: A, B, C
  • Reflector: B
  • Plugboard Connections: A ↔ G, B ↔ H

The ciphertext is ymnjp znmjo gteqj cjwwh qljtd nprmp g. We can decrypt the ciphertext using the Enigma M3 settings provided. We can use the Enigma to decrypt the ciphertext.
