Tom Jericho:
It weighs twenty-six pounds, battery included, and goes anywhere. The Enigma machine - the Germans have thousands of them. Hammerbeck:
What's it do? Tom Jericho:
It turns plain-text messages into gobbledygook. Then the gobbledygook is transmitted in Morse. At the other end is another Enigma machine, which translates the message back to the original text. Hammerbeck:
And you have one of your own. Logie:
Uh, courtesy of the Polish Cipher Bureau. Hammerbeck:
So what's The problem? Tom Jericho:
The problem? The problem is the machine has a hundred and fifty million, million, million ways of doing it, according to how you set these three rotors, and how you connect these plugs. Press the same key any number of times, it'll always come out different. Hammerbeck:
And that's Shark? Tom Jericho:
No. No, no, no, this is the one we can break. Shark is enciphered on a special Enigma machine with a fourth rotor, designed especially for U-Boats - which gives it about four thousand million, *billion* starting positions. And, uh, we've never seen one. Hammerbeck:
Holy shit

It weighs 26 pounds battery included
00:00:03.836 --> 00:00:05.836
and goes anywhere
00:00:06.091 --> 00:00:09.424
The Enigma machine The Germans have thousands of them
00:00:09.678 --> 00:00:11.513
What's it do
00:00:11.764 --> 00:00:14.433
It turns plain text messages into gobbledygook
00:00:14.681 --> 00:00:17.308
Then the gobbledygook gets transmitted in Morse
00:00:17.563 --> 00:00:22.315
At the receiving end there's another Enigma machine to turn it back into the original message
00:00:22.565 --> 00:00:25.061
Press the same key any number of times it will always come out different
00:00:25.086 --> 00:00:29.657
And you have one of your own Courtesy of the Polish Cipher Bureau
00:00:29.907 --> 00:00:32.993
So what's the problem
00:00:33.243 --> 00:00:35.368
Problem
00:00:35.621 --> 00:00:40.581
The problem is the machine has 115 million million million ways of doing it
00:00:40.835 --> 00:00:44.629
according to how you set these three rotors and how you connect these plugs
00:00:44.879 --> 00:00:46.589
And that's Shark
00:00:46.839 --> 00:00:49.849
No No no no This is the one we can break
00:00:50.997 --> 00:00:54.144
Shark is enciphered on a machine with a fourth rotor specially developed for U boats
00:00:54.394 --> 00:01:00.772
which gives it about 4 000 million billion different starting positions
00:01:00.815 --> 00:01:03.652
And uh we've never seen one
00:01:03.902 --> 00:01:07.114
