NAME pyenigma.py - encrypt/decrypt text according to Enigma machine key settings SYNOPSIS pyenigma.py [-h] [-k KEY_FILE] [-d DAY] [-r ROTOR [ROTOR ...]] [-i RING_SETTING [RING_SETTING ...]] [-p PLUGBOARD [PLUGBOARD ...]] [-u REFLECTOR] [-s START] [-t TEXT] [-f FILE] [-x REPLACE_CHAR] [-z] [-v] DESCRIPTION pyenigma.py is a command line for processing Enigma messages. Enigma settings can either be specified by command-line arguments, or read from a key file. If reading from a key file, the line labeled with the current day number is used unless the --day argument is provided. Text to process can be supplied 3 ways: * if --text=TEXT is present TEXT is processed * if --file=FILE is present the contents of FILE are processed * otherwise the text is read from standard input Please see documentation for the description of the file format. OPTIONS -h, --help show this help message and exit -k KEY_FILE, --key-file KEY_FILE path to key file for daily settings -d DAY, --day DAY use the settings for day DAY when reading key file -r ROTOR [ROTOR ...], --rotors ROTOR [ROTOR ...] rotor list ordered from left to right; e.g III IV I -i RING_SETTING [RING_SETTING ...], --ring-settings RING_SETTING [RING_SETTING ...] ring setting list from left to right; e.g. A A J -p PLUGBOARD [PLUGBOARD ...], --plugboard PLUGBOARD [PLUGBOARD ...] plugboard settings -u REFLECTOR, --reflector REFLECTOR reflector name -s START, --start START starting position -t TEXT, --text TEXT text to process -f FILE, --file FILE input file to process -x REPLACE_CHAR, --replace-char REPLACE_CHAR if the input text contains chars not found on the enigma keyboard, replace with this char [default: X] -z, --delete-chars if the input text contains chars not found on the enigma keyboard, delete them from the input -v, --verbose provide verbose output; include final rotor positions EXAMPLE Try these commands to specify settings from the command line: $ pyenigma.py \-r III IV V \-i 1 2 3 \-p AB CD EF GH IJ KL MN \-u B \-s XYZ $ pyenigma.py \-r Beta III IV V \-i A B C D \-p 1/2 3/4 5/6 \-u B\-Thin \-s WXYZ This command will load Enigma settings from a file: $ pyenigma.py \-\-key-file=enigma.keys \-s XYZ \-t HELLOXWORLDX AUTHOR Brian Neal
