This program is an exact simulation of the M-209 Cipher Machine, used by the US Military during World War 2. This is, after the 'Enigma Real Version', my second hyper realistic simulator submission. The M-209, the American version of the Hagelin C-38, was a portable hand operated cipher machine for tactical messages. It had the size of a lunchbox and presented a brilliant design of mechanics, developed by the Swedish cryptographer Boris Hagelin. This simulator, fully compatible with the original cipher machine, enables a realistic handling with rotating code wheels, setting of wheel pins and drum lugs, combined with authentic graphics. The program comes with a very complete helpfile, containing the manual, the enciphering procedures from the US military and all technical details on the machine. There's also a picture gallery. Complete with formatted clipboard and Autotyping function. With this program you will be able to work with the M-209 and examine how it works and how it was operated. This is a true reference to the M-209, and an educational must! If you like it, just vote! The install file is also available at http://users.telenet.be/d.rijmenants/en/m209sim.htm
** V2.1: Updated helpfile (explained some procedure issues a bit more) at 6/13 **

I like the fact that you'vefound your programming niche (cryptography), and not only understand it but take the care to make your simulations as realistic as possible. Nice work as usual.

Well, it seems you haven't set any pins and lugs. Check out the Help file, there are all instructions on how to setup the machine according to a key sheet.

It's a lot of work to cipher/decipher messages with this brilliant machine. No wonder the war lastet 4 years!!

Well Dirk, I sure appreciate this upload! Maybe you should create a CD w/ all of your cypher examples and sell it. I constantly learn from you about this stuff and is great to see someone w/ your knowledge 'explaining' this stuff via VB. Thanks again for the upload and you definitely get my 5 round ones.

As James says you have uploaded a fantastic collection of encryption programs. The level of detail in this (as with Enigma) is outstanding. 5*

Dirk you're back! The only issue left is that currently, the code cannot be accessed from the leaderboard - it still says the code was removed. Same for me... why don't you email them on this issue; I'm sure they're sick of hearing from me... :-)

another crown jewel.
this one is very a very nice looking one, as enigma.
your codes are the best, as your explanations and savoir faire.
for me, one time pad is the greatest one. ultra too :D
nice, very very nice work, Rijmenants
