Mystery

Author: Michael Someone sent this to me... such enigma, such mystery: rkenr wozec gtrfl obbur bfgma fkgyq ctkvq zeucz hlvwx yyzat zbvns kgyyd sthmi vsifc ovexl zzdqv slyir nwqoj igxuu kdqgr fdbbd njppc mujyy wwcoy Settings as below:

  • 3 Rotor Model

  • Rotor 1: VI, Initial: A, Ring A

  • Rotor 2: I, Initial: Q, Ring A

  • Rotor 3: III, Initial L, Ring A

  • Reflector: UKW B

  • Plugboard: BQ CR DI EJ KW MT OS PX UZ GH

Given this, we can tell immediately that this is Engima machine cipher. So first things first, I launched up https://cryptii.com/pipes/enigma-machinearrow-up-right.

We get the plaintext that is messagewrappedinlighthiddendeeperoutofsightlockingitmoretightanywayyourflagishereflagfdfeabcacbebfbadaefbeccaadddbafezzz

By formatting it a bit better we get

message wrapped in light hidden deeper out of sight locking it more tight anyway your flag is here flag fdfeabcacbebfbadaefbeccaadddbafezzz

So, i thought the flag was flag{fdfeabcacbebfbadaefbeccaadddbafezzz}, but this was too long, so i tried removing the final zzz characters, giving the the flag as flag{fdfeabcacbebfbadaefbeccaadddbafe}.
