New
Enigma machine: an Enigma I simulator — rotors I–V, reflectors B and C, ring settings and a plugboard. Press keys: the rotors turn, a lamp lights up and the signal path is shown. Decrypt with the same settings, which you can share as a link.
New
Simple substitution cipher: a keyword, random or typed-in key. Crack it with frequency analysis — a frequency chart, letters set with a click and an automatic solver for texts of 150 letters or more.
New
Playfair cipher: a 5 × 5 square for English and a 4 × 8 table for Russian. Every pair gets its rule and highlighted cells, and pairs can be stepped through one by one.
New
Dancing men: a name or a note in figures, with a flag ending each word. PNG and SVG pictures, printing, and a keyboard of figures to read someone else's note.
New
Litoreya, Trithemius cipher, Vernam cipher and Transposition cipher: short pages with a diagram. Vernam offers modular addition or XOR and a random key of the right length.
Improved
Ciphers and decoding: “Identify the cipher” recognises litoreya, and when nothing looks like text it offers to crack the ciphertext as a simple substitution.
