The WW2 hacker's efforts revealed
The WWII hackers with their Enigma machine, decoded lots of German and Japanese messages. That was the start of hacking with a big impact.
More than a million Second World War documents are to be made available to the public for the first time in UK.

I just finished watching a movie. It came out of a case with a label on it. Was it pirated or real? I haven't the slightest clue, nor do I care nor did a bother to find out.
The movie wa splayed through a new DVD machine. Was it a legally made machine with a sony name on it or was it a copy? I haven't the slightest clue, nor do I care nor did a bother to find out.
It played on a TV. Was it eh DVD playing or a signal from the air? I haven't the slightest clue, nor do I care nor did a bother to find out.

Chaff aka LK:
You can look through these records, and copy some of the code to hack N3. After all you are a C/P specialist!

Nydas thanks for the thread.

I, myself, am found of cryptography and I have read "The Code Breakers" many times. The book goes from Romans writing messages on leather straps and Marie Antoinette writing secret messages from her dungeon in London to modern RSA algorithms used in PGP to communicate securely.

A huge part of the book however deals with Enigma and the effort to break it. Remember that the Poles initially broke Enigma and not the British. What Britain did was to automate the process of breaking the daily changing codes.

I am looking forward until that web site opens. I will surely spend hours on it !!!!

Thanks again for info

The Code Breakers is a WW2 classic. With the tools they had they showed amazing mathematical skills to break the code. I even read about the messages sent by the Japanese navy just before Pearl Harbour but that did not involve serious code breaking.
I am glad somebody appreciates the talents of the tenants of Blechley Park. I am sure some interesting documents will be published shortly that will change history or at least the understanding of it.
