Hmm... Used binary to ASCII text, got Morse Code. Translate that, you get:

mystique Maybe that is enigma

FangTheCat

mystique
Yes, Thats Enigma.
Specifically Enigma M4 "Shark"
using the Rotor Beta
along with IV to some extent.. and
I have no Idea what with the +10.

mystique

mystique Dang

mystique

FangTheCat I blanked the plugboard already

FangTheCat

mystique
yep.
. _ .

mystique

FangTheCat Set the other rotors to IV

mystique

FangTheCat Hmm...

FangTheCat

mystique
I dont have it open atm..
internet Too slow.

mystique

mleise Yeah. Apparently all the hints are in this thread

This message is urgent, to whoever sees this beware. It's encrypted for safety. I trust thy.
Inspired kinda by Jobeefs most likely Mak related plan ❓ Is that a hint? What did this Jobeef guy do?
FangTheCat was "on a good way"
The plugboard is blank
https://cryptii.com/ if you searched for a decryper, here. I used the same thing

mleise Who is Mak or Jobeef? Hmm...

G4L4XY

mystique Yobeefjerky, a forum moderator/RPer. Mak are a collective of voracious swarming drones who have already ended several galaxies (created by Yobeefjerky).

mleise

Maybe "+" is the key phrase "PLUS" that has to be dialed in before the decoding starts. I'm not really convinced though as +10 is given as an expression in parenthesis. It really asks to be added onto something. "BETA" would also make for a possible key phrase.

mystique

mleise Hmmm.

mystique

mleise I'm trying to figure out the rotor positions now. He said all the hints were here...

Brank

BOISSSS

IF U Would LISTEN

You would KNOW That This is DISCONTINUED

Because THE POSTER IS NOT DOING RP For a While

mystique

Brank We can still figure it out ourselves

mleise

Brank I'm not interested in the RP aspect, but it is still a nice puzzle by itself. Plus you learn a bit of history and how the Enigma worked in principle. What the creator thought was a strength and what ultimately lead to Poland and the UK cracking it.
Since this message doesn't use the plug board and is likely written in English we could probably brute force crack it if our imagination fails us. I.e. try combinations until "TH" appears often or the amount of "E"s and "T"s is high. At the moment I have generic source code for the Enigma that simulates how the wheels rotate on each key press and what path the current takes from an input letter to an output letter. Pretty much what the web versions do. But we could pre-compute all the internal states for a given set of wheels and ring positions - i.e. the internal state - and end up with a super fast instant-enigma to try different initial letters in the rotor windows). It would use ~14 megabytes of RAM and almost no CPU once built.

mystique You got most stuff right with all the gears being IV you just need to get the +10 thing
